The Awami League and its associates are observing daylong programmes in celebration of the 35th homecoming day of party chief Sheikh Hasina on Sunday.
On this day in 1981, Hasina returned to Bangladesh after spending nearly six years abroad following the killings of her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of the family members on August 15, 1975. Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana survived the attack as they were in Germany at that time.
As part of the celebration, wreaths will be laid at the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in the capital’s Dhanmondi, a doa mahfil will be held praying for good health and longevity of the premier and a rally will be held by the Dhaka City unit of Awami League.
Leaders of Awami League and its associate bodies will exchange greetings with Sheikh Hasina at her official residence Ganobhaban at 7pm.
