Bangabandhu did not encourage a military conflict, nor did he push the country to the brink of war in his speech.

The High Court issues a rule asking the government to explain in two weeks why it should not be directed to demarcate the exact place at Suhrawardy Udyan where Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered the historical speech on March 7, 1971 declaring independence of Bangladesh.
