President to address ‘Mujib 100-Year’ speech to nation tomorrow
DHAKA, March 16, 2020 (BSS) – President M Abdul Hamid is set to address the
nation tomorrow evening on the occasion of the National Children’s Day and
also ‘Mujib 100-Year’, the birth centenary of Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
It is a recorded speech, which will be telecast in the radio and
television, as the ‘Mujib Barsha’ programmes were curtailed to avoid any mass
gathering, fearing the recent outbreak of the fatal disease COVID-19
(coronavirus).
On the occasion, President’s recorded speech will be telecast immediately
after opening of the fireworks at different venues across the country at 8pm,
President’s Press Secretary Joynal Abedin told BSS.
Besides, a doa mahfil and discussion will be held at Durbar Hall of the
Bangabhaban in the evening on the day.
The head of the state, along with his Bangabhaban officials, will attend
the milad mahfil at 6 pm, Abedin added.
