DHAKA, Jan 10, 2021 (BSS) – Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), students’ front of the ruling Awami League, today paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, marking the homecoming day of the great leader.
The leaders and activists, led by BCL President Al Nahiyan Khan Joy and its General Secretary Lekhok Bhattacharya, paid the homage by placing wreaths at the portrait of Father of the Nation in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi here this morning.
Bangabandhu, the undisputed leader of the nation and supreme commander of the country’s Liberation War, returned to the sacred soil of independent Bangladesh via London and New Delhi on January 10 in 1972, after 290 days of confinement in Pakistan jail.
Since then, the nation is observing the day as the Homecoming Day of Father of the Nation.
The Homecoming Day of Bangabandhu this year came with an extra significance as it coincided with Father of the Nation’s birth centenary celebrations.
