Ivy Rahman’s 13th death anniversary today

The 13th death anniversary of Ivy Rahman, former president of Bangladesh Mahila Awami League and wife of late President Zillur Rahman, is being observed on Thursday in a befitting manner.

To mark the day, different political and socio-cultural organizations, including Bangladesh Awami League (AL), its associate bodies and other likeminded organizations have chalked out elaborate programmes, BSS reported.

The programmes included placing wreaths and offering fateha at her (Ivy) grave at Banani graveyard in the capital, arranging milad mahfil and special prayers, and holding discussions in Dhaka and elsewhere across the country.

AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader urged all members of AL central executive committee, advisory council and associate bodies to attend the programmes.
