The Homecoming Day of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is being observed on Sunday with due fervour.
On January 10 in 1972, Bangabandhu returned to independent and sovereign Bangladesh after over nine and half months’ captivity in a Pakistan jail, reports United News of Bangaldesh.
Before his release from the Pakistan jail, Bangabandhu had been counting moments for the execution of his death sentence that was pronounced in a farcical trial.
The defeated Pakistani rulers were finally compelled to release Bangabandhu from jail. The victory of the Bengalis attained its fulfilment with his release.
The ruling Awami League, its associate and front organisations and various socio-political organisations have chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the day.
The prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, paid rich tributes to Bangabandhu by placing a wreath at his portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in the city on the occasion of the Homecoming Day of the great leader.
After laying the floral wreath, she stood there in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Bangabandhu, the architect of independence.
Flanked by central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Awami League, placed another wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of her party.
Later, the leaders of AL’s associate bodies, including Juba League, Chhatra League, Sramik League, Mahila Awami League, Swechchhasebak League, Juba Mohila League, Krishak League, Dhaka city AL and other socio-cultural organizations laid wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu.
Awami League will also hold a discussion at Suhrawardy Udyan on Monday at 2:30pm where the prime minister and AL president Sheikh Hasina will join as the chief guest.
The president, Abdul Hamid, and the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, issued separate messages marking the day.
