PM pays homage to Bangabandhu at Tungipara

Gopalganj Correspondent:  Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has paid homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman here on the occasion of installation of her government for the third consecutive term.

The prime minister paid tributes to Bangabandhu by placing a wreath at his shrine at Tungipara on Wednesday.

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

A smartly turned out contingent drawn from the three forces gave an honour guard to the prime minister, while the bugle played the last post on the occasion.
Bangabandhu’s younger daughter Sheikh Rehana was also present.

The prime minister offered fateha and joined a special munajat seeking eternal peace of Bangabandhu and other martyrs of the August 15 carnage.

Later accompanied by the cabinet colleagues and senior Awami League leaders, Sheikh Hasina placed another wreath at Bangabandhu’s shrine.

She also joined a milad and doa mahfil held on the Bangabandhu’s Mausoleum premises.
