PM Pays Tribute to Bangabandhu

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid strong tributes to the nation's father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman remembering the historic Homecoming Day of the architect of Bangladesh's independence.

The Premier paid tribute by placing festoons at the portrait of the Nation's Father in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in the morning.

After laying the festoons, PM stood there in solemn silence for some time as a mark of heartfelt respect to the memory of Bangabandhu, the great leader of Bangladesh.

Surrounded by ministers and central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina- the President of Bangladesh Awami League placed another festoon at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of her party.

Sheikh Rehana, the youngest daughter of Bangabandhu, senior leaders of Awami League, including Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail  Ahmed, Matia Chowdhury, Obaidul Quader, Dr Abdur Razzaque, Shajahan Khan, Dr Hasan Mahmud, Dr Dipu Moni, Bahauddin Nasim, Advocate Yusuf Hossain, Barrister Biplob Barua as well as leaders of its different associate bodies were present.
