HOMAGE-SPEAKER-NATIONAL LEADERS
Speaker pays tributes to national leaders
DHAKA, Nov 3, 2018 (BSS) – Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad Dr Shirin
Sharmin Chaudhury today paid homage to four national leaders marking the Jail
Killing Day.
In memory of the leaders, Dr Shirin placed wreaths at central shaheed
minar at Pirganj, Rangpur, this morning, a press release said here today.
After placing the wreath, she stood in solemn silence there for some
time as a mark of profound respect to the memories of the national leaders.
“Today is Jail Killing Day, one of the stigmatic, bloodied and saddest
days of human history. After killing Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman along with most of his family members on August 15, 1975, the
killers stormed into the Dhaka Central Jail in the early hours of November 3
and brutally assassinated the four national leaders Tajuddin Ahmed, Syed
Nazrul Islam, Captain Monsur Ali and AHM Kamaruzzaman. Such brutal killing is
rare in the history of mankind,” she said.
The Speaker urged everyone to turn this sorrow into strength and work
jointly to realize Bangabandhu’s dream of building a ‘Sonar Bangla’.
Later, Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury joined a special prayer for the four
national leaders.
