Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at 7am on Wednesday by placing a wreath at his portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in the city on the occasion of the Homecoming Day of the great leader.
After laying the wreath, the Prime Minister stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of respect to the memory of Bangabandhu.
Flanked by central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Bangladesh Awami League (AL), placed another wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of her party.
Later, leaders of AL’s associate bodies including Jubo League, Chhatra League, Sramik League, Mohila Awami League, Sechchasebak League, Jubo Mohila League, Krishak League and other socio-cultural organizations laid wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu.
On January 10, 1972, Bangabandhu had returned to independent and sovereign Bangladesh after over nine and a half months of captivity in a Pakistani jail.
Bangabandhu was subjected to inhuman torture in the prison where he had been counting moments for the execution of his death sentence that was pronounced in a farcical trial.
He inspired the Bangalee nation. He was the inspiration of the freedom fighters.
