He was a charismatic nationalist leader, led of the Bengali independence movement and is regarded as the Father of the Nation.This year is 43nd anniversary of Bangabandhu’s tragic assassination
In this day, the national flag is flown at half-mast at government, educational, organisational, and other buildings throughout the land. The Awami League also raises a black flag at all of their party offices on the morning of 15 August, the time when the brutal killing was discovered in 1975. This day is announced as holiday and the whole day is one of great solemnity and given great respect and honour. The president and prime minister deliver speeches and lay flower wreaths at Sheikh Mujib’s monument.
