Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina today paid glowing tributes to the martyred members of
the Bangladesh Armed Forces on the occasion of the Armed Forces Day-2022.
The prime
minister paid the homage by placing a wreath at the Shikha Anirban (flame
eternal) in Dhaka Cantonment this morning.
After
laying the wreath, she stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of
profound respect to the memories of the armed forces martyrs, who made supreme
sacrifices during the War of Liberation.
A
smartly-turned out contingent drawn from Bangladesh Army, Navy and Air Force
presented a guard of honour at that time, while the bugle played the last post.
Later,
Sheikh Hasina, also in-charge of the Ministry of Defence, signed the visitors’
book kept on the premises of Shikha Anirban.
Earlier,
on her arrival at the Shikha Anirban, the premier was received by Chief of Army
Staff General S M Shafiuddin Ahmed, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral M Shaheen
Iqbal, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Shaikh Abdul Hannan and Principal
Staff Officer (PSO) of the Armed Forces Division (AFD) Lieutenant General
Waker-Uz-Zaman.
After the
wreath-placing ceremony, the prime minister went to the Armed Forces Division
(AFD) where her Security Adviser Major General (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique
and chiefs of the three services made a courtesy call on her.
On her
arrival at the AFD, Sheikh Hasina was received by the PSO and director generals
of the AFD.
On this
day during the War of Liberation in 1971, the Bangladesh Armed Forces,
comprising Army, Navy and Air Force, came into being and launched an all-out
attack on the Pakistani occupation forces which sped up the victory in the
Liberation War.
After the
independence of the country, this historic day is being observed as the Armed
Forces Day every year.
