Dhaka Bureau: Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s historic homecoming day today. On this occasion, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid tribute by placing wreaths on his portrait. Today, Wednesday (January 10) morning, she paid tribute to the portrait of the father of the nation in front of the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi No. 32.
After that, the Prime Minister stood there silently for a while and paid deep respect to the great leader. Later, Bangladesh Awami League president Sheikh Hasina placed another wreath on Bangabandhu’s portrait on behalf of the party along with the central leaders.
After that, the leaders and activists of Jubo League, Chhatra League, Shramik League, Mahila Awami League, Swachhasebak League, Krishak League and various social and cultural organizations paid tribute to Bangabandhu.
It should be noted that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, declaring the independence of Bangladesh in the early hours of March 26, 1971, urged people from all walks of life to jump into the liberation war. Immediately after the declaration of independence, he was arrested on the orders of the military ruler of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, and detained in the then West Pakistan jail.
On December 16, 1971, the Bengali nation achieved victory through a long 9-month bloody war of liberation against the occupying Pakistani invaders on the path directed by Bangabandhu. The independent and sovereign state of Bangladesh appeared on the world map.
Meanwhile, although the desired victory was achieved through the surrender of the invaders on December 16, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the great hero of the victory of the Bengali nation, was still imprisoned in Pakistan. The primordial sky of the newly independent land was drowned in the melancholy of imperfection.
On January 10, 1972, the greatest Bengali father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the supreme leader of the liberation war, returned to free Bangladesh from Pakistan’s prison.
