Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday paid rich tributes to Bangladesh’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his homecoming day.

The prime minister paid homage to the great leader by placing wreath at the portrait of the father of the nation in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in Dhaka in the morning.

After laying the wreath, the prime minister stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Sheikh Mujib, the architect of Bangladesh’s independence.

Flanked by central leaders of Bangladesh Awami League, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of the party, placed another wreath at the portrait of Mujib on behalf of her party.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 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 the father of the nation.
