Sheikh Hasina, accompanied by senior Awami League leaders, paid another floral tribute to the portrait of Bangabandhu in her capacity as party chief.
Later, Awami League affiliate bodies, including Dhaka City AL, Bangladesh Chhatra League, Jubo League, Sramik League, Krishak League, Awami Mahila League and Swechchhabhak League, paid floral tributes to the portrait of Bangabandhu on the historic occasion.
On this day in 1966, Bangabandhu had launched a massive movement against the misrule of Pakistanis based on the six-point demand, which was part of the Magna Carta of Bengalis seeking autonomy for the then East Pakistan.
