The BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, on Thursday said the name of Ziaur Rahman could not be erased from the minds of the people by burning books written on him. Blasting the incident of setting books on Ziaur Rahman on fire at Sonargaon museum, Khaleda said the country's independence and sovereignty was restored through the uprising of mass people and soldiers on November 7, 1975.

She was launching a commemorative volume, Biplab Sanghati, based on the events of November 7 and edited by the party assistant publicity secretary Mohiuddin Khan Mohan, at her office on the day. The volume features Khaleda's accounts of November 7, and articles of Emajuddin Ahmed, Maniruzzman Miah and others.
