Hasina's Homecoming Day today
The 38th Homecoming Day of Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be observed today.
On this day in 1981, Sheikh Hasina returned home from India after nearly six years in exile following the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members by a group of army officers on August 15, 1975.
However, both the daughters of Bangabandhu, Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, survived as they were in Germany at that time.
Hasina was elected president of Awami League in her absence in the party's national council held on February 14-16, 1981.
To mark the day, Awami League and its associate bodies have chalked out various programmes.
The party will hold a discussion at Krishibid Institution in the afternoon.
Jubo League, Bangladesh Chhatra League and other associate bodies will also organise various programmes.
President Abdul Hamid issued a message on the occasion.
