Hasina, other leaders pay homage to Sheikh Mujib

Awami League president Sheikh Hasina along with other newly-elected office-bearers of the party on Tuesday paid tributes to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Sheikh Hasina, also the prime minister, and other office-bearers, including general secretary Obaidul Quader paid homage by placing a wreath at Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in the city.

After placing the wreath, the prime minister and other AL leaders stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of respect to the memory of the great leader of the country.

Later, Sheikh Hasina went to Bangabandhu Bhaban and placed another wreath at the portrait in front of the historic house.

The AL president offered fateha and munajat sitting on the stairs where Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated on the fateful night of August 15 in 1975.

Sheikh Hasina was unanimously elected president of Awami League for the eighth consecutive time, while Obaidul Quader elected as its new general secretary in the party's two-day 20th national council on October 22-23.
