PM offers ziarat at Bangabandhu’s mazar in Tungipara
TUNGIPARA, Gopalganj, June 2, 2018 (BSS)- Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
offered ziarat at the mazar of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman here this morning.
Accompanied by Sheikh Rehana, the younger daughter of Bangabandhu, the
premier offered Fateha and joined a munajat (prayer) seeking eternal peace of
departed souls of the Father of the Nation, Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa
Mujib and other martyrs of the August 15, 1975 massacre.
Prayers were also offered seeking divine blessings for good health and
long life of Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana and their family members as well
as continued peace, progress and prosperity of the nation.
Earlier, the prime minister paid rich tributes to Bangabandhu by placing a
wreath at his mazar.
After laying 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 the
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.
Secretaries concerned to the prime minister and local Awami League leaders
were also present on the occasion.
Later, the prime minister held a meeting with officials of the district
administration and local Awami League leaders.
Sheikh Hasina also handed over Eid gifts among the children and officials
of Sheikh Russel Distressed Children Training and Rehabilitation Center as
well as officials and employees of Sheikh Jamal Youth Training Centre at
Bangabandhu’s Mausoleum Complex.
