President, PM pay tributes to martyred intellectuals

President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday paid rich tributes to the martyred intellectuals on the occasion of the Martyred Intellectuals Day.

First the President and then the Prime Minister placed wreath at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial in Mirpur.

After placing the wreath, both stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memories of the illustrious sons of the soil.

A smartly turned out contingent of Bangladesh Armed Forces gave a state salute while the bugle played the last post at that time.

Later, the President talked to the war-wounded freedom fighters and the family members of the martyred intellectuals and enquired about their wellbeing.

Flanked by central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Bangladesh Awami League, placed another wreath at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial as the party chief.
