Amal Sen's ninth death anniversary today
Today is the ninth death anniversary of Amal Sen, former president of Bangladesh Workers Party and a veteran of Tebhaga Andolon, the revolt where peasants demanded two-thirds of the produce from the land owners instead of the pittance they had been used to getting.
Leaders and activists of Bangladesh Workers Party yesterday paid tribute by placing wreaths at Amal's portrait at Shaheed Russell Mancha in the city's Topkhana road, says a press release.
Amal Sen, born in 1912 in Afra village of Narail, was the lead organiser of the Narail episode of Tebhaga Andolon which spread in East Bengal and West Bengal in 1946.
He was also elected president of Bangladesh Workers Party in 1992 and 1995.
Workers Party Bangladesh organised a two-day programme at his village home starting from today marking the death anniversary.
