Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing wreath at his mausoleum here on his 48th martyrdom anniversary and the National Mourning Day.
After placing the wreath, the prime minister stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of the architect of independence, who was brutally killed by some disgruntled army men on the dreadful night of August 15, 1975 along with most of his family members.
A smartly turned out contingent drawn from the armed forces gave a state salute on the occasion, while the bugle played the last post.
Along with her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, the premier then offered Fateha and munajat at the grave seeking eternal peace of departed souls of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangamata Begum Fazilatun Nesa Mujib and other martyrs of August 15. Speaker, cabinet members, chiefs of the three services, IGP and prime minister’s family members were present.বিস্তারিত
