Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will address the nation on Sunday evening on the occasion of Eid-ul- Fitr.

"The Prime Minister will address the nation at 7:30 pm on the occasion of Holy Eid-ul Fitr," PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim said in a press release on Saturday.

State-owned Bangladesh Betar and Bangladesh Television will simultaneously broadcast the Prime Minister’s address.

Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival of Muslims, will be celebrated in the country on Monday as the Shawwal moon was not sighted in Bangladesh sky on Saturday.
