Hasina's Homecoming Day today
Bangladesh Awami League and its associate bodies are set to celebrate the Homecoming Day of Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina today.
On this day in 1981, Hasina returned home after about six years in exile after the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members on August 15 in 1975.
Bangabandhu's daughters, Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, survived the August 15 carnage as they were in Germany.
Awami League and its associate organisations have chalked out an elaborate programme marking the day.
The programme includes placing of wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu at Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in the city, arrangement of doa seeking good health and long life of Sheikh Hasina, meeting with injured freedom fighters and distribution of foods at orphanages.
