Awami League (AL), its front organisations, and socio-cultural organisations have taken up programmes to celebrate the day.
AL has chalked out a two-day programme including a discussion at the auditorium of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the capital at 3:00pm tomorrow. Acting party President Zillur Rahman will chair the discussion.
Leaders of AL, its front organisations and socio-cultural organisations will place floral wreaths at the portrait of Sheikh Mujib at Bangabandhu Memorial Museum on road no-32 in the capital’s Dhanmondi at 7:00am and also at Bangabandhu’s mazar at Tungipara in Gopalganj at 12:30pm.
Both national and party flags will be hoisted at all AL offices across the country at 6:00am.
A milad and doa mahfil will also be held at his mazar in the afternoon.
In a statement yesterday, acting AL General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam urged people to observe Bangabandhu’s birth anniversary in a befitting manner.
In another statement, acting party President Zillur Rahman said independent and sovereign Bangladesh emerged on the world map under Bangabandhu’s gallant leadership.
He said the defeated forces in the liberation war began distorting history after the killing of the father of the nation to tarnish the country’s image.
Zillur said the BNP-Jamaat coalition continued distorting history after assuming power through conspiracy in 2001.
The AL leader said Bangabandhu’s eldest daughter Sheikh Hasina has been kept behind bars under false charges brought against her.
He demanded immediate release of Hasina for sending her abroad for better treatment.
