The ruling Awami League's newly elected National Committee, Central Working Committee, and Advisory Council led by party President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Awami League President Sheikh Hasina along with her party leaders paid homage to Bangabandhu by placing a wreath on his mausoleum in Tungipara of Gopalganj district.
They offered Fateha and joined a munajat (prayer) seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of the Father of the Nation and other martyrs of the August 15, 1975 carnage.
