Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on the occasion of the historic March 7.

The prime minister paid homage by placing wreaths at the portrait of the Father of the Nation in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in Dhanmondi, Dhaka around 7am.

She first laid a wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu as the prime minister.

After placing the wreath, she stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Bangabandhu, the architect of independence.

At that time, younger daughter of Bangabandhu, Sheikh Rehana, joined with the prime minister.

Munajat was offered seeking the eternal peace of the great leader, his martyred family members, and millions of martyred who made their supreme sacrifice for the country.

On this day in 1971, Bangabandhu through his fiery and soulful address made a clarion call to the people to fight against the Pakistani occupation forces to achieve the long-cherished independence.

Before a rally of a million of freedom-loving people at the then Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardhy Udyan) on March 7 in 1971, Bangabandhu in a virtual announcement of independence firmly declared, “the struggle this time is for our freedom, the struggle this time is for our independence.”
