The golden jubilee of bestowing ‘Bangabandhu’ title on Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was observed today amid different programmes.
The then Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) Vice-President and Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad Convenor Tofail Ahmed announced the title on behalf of the people at a mass rally at the historic Suhrawardy Udyan (Race Course) after Sheikh Mujib, subsequently the Father of the Nation, was freed from jail in the Agartala conspiracy case on February 22.
To mark the day, different organisations and political parties placed wreaths at the portrait of architect of independent Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in front of Bangabandhu Museum here.
A discussion was arranged at the Teacher-Student-Centre (TSC) auditorium on Dhaka University campus.
Awami League Advisory Council Member Tofail Ahmed, as the chief guest, joined the discussion organised by TSC based socio-cultural organizations.
In the morning, Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote paid tributes to Bangabandhu by placing a wreath at his portrait at Dhanmondi road number 32. Besides, the jote also arranged a discussion at its Gulshan office. Organisation’s executive president actor ATM Shamsuzzaman addressed it with steering committee president Sarah Begum Kabari in the chair.
