Who declared Emergency in Bangladesh on 25th January 1975 ?

  • A.Yahya Khan
  • B.Sheikh Mujibur Rehman
  • C.Zahurul Haq
  • D.Mufti Ahmed

Answer: B

The leader is Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.

Mujib's government proclaimed a state of emergency at the end of December 1974, and on 25 January 1975 the Fourth Amendment replaced the parliamentary system with a presidential one, made Mujib President and opened the way to one-party rule. The paper's date is the date of that amendment, but under either date the emergency rule was Mujib's.

Yahya Khan was the President of Pakistan who lost East Pakistan in 1971, and Zahurul Haq was an accused in the Agartala Conspiracy Case who was killed in custody in 1969. Neither governed Bangladesh in 1975, and nor did the remaining name.
