Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid rich tributes to
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, marking his 47th
martyrdom anniversary and the National Mourning Day.
As part of the state program, the prime minister paid homage
to the architect of the country’s independence by placing wreath at the
portrait of Bangabandhu in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi
Road No 32 in the capital.
After placing the wreath, she stood in solemn silence for
some time to show profound respect to the great leader.
A smartly turned out contingent of Bangladesh Armed Forces
gave a state salute at that time, while the bugle played a tune of grief and
somber to the last post.
A munajat was also offered seeking eternal peace of the
departed souls of the martyrs of August 15 carnage.
After paying tributes to Bangabandhu, the prime minister
visited the historic residence of the Father of the Nation at Dhanmondi Road
No. 32 which witnessed the world’s most barbaric carnage on this day 47 years
back.
She stayed in the house, which has now been turned into
Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, for a while.
Later, flanked by senior Awami League (AL) leaders, Sheikh
Hasina, also AL President, placed a wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on
behalf of the party.
The day is being observed across the country as the National
Mourning Day.
Bangabandhu, his spouse Bangamata Begum Fazilatun Nesa
Mujib, his three sons– Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, and Sheikh Russel– and most
of the family members of Bangabandhu and his three close relatives were
assassinated in cold blood on the fateful night of August 15, 1975 by a group
of disgruntled army men.
Two daughters of Bangabandhu -- incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana -- could escape the carnage as they stayed
abroad at that time.
From Dhanmondi, the premier later went to the Banani
Graveyard where her mother Bangamata Begum Fazilatun Nesa Mujib, brothers
Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, and Sheikh Russel and other martyrs of August 15,
1975 were laid to eternal rest.
She placed wreaths and spread flower petals on their graves.
Sheikh Hasina also offered Fateha and prayed for eternal
peace of the departed souls of the martyrs of August 15.
A smartly turned out contingent of Bangladesh Armed Forces
gave a state salute at that time.
