PM pays homage to Bangabandhu on Homecoming Day

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on the occasion of the Homecoming Day of the great leader.

The premier paid the homage by placing wreath at the portrait of the Father of the Nation in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi at 7am. 

After laying the wreath, the prime minister stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Bangabandhu, the architect of independence.

Flanked by ministers and central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Bangladesh Awami League, placed another wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of her party.

Bangabandhu returned to independent Bangladesh via London and New Delhi on January 10 in 1972, after 290 days of captivity in a Pakistan jail.

Since then, the nation is observing the day as the Homecoming Day of the Father of the Nation.
