Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday paid rich tributes and offered prayers at the mausoleum of Bangladesh鈥檚 founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Tungipara in Gopalganj.
She paid homage by placing a floral wreath at Bangabandhu's grave and joined a prayer this morning seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of Sheikh Mujib and other martyrs of August 15, 1975 carnage.
After laying the wreaths, she stood in solemn silence for some time as a show of profound respect to the memory of the architect of independent Bangladesh.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's younger daughter and PM鈥檚 younger sister Sheikh Rehana and other family members were present.
Sheikh Hasina, also President of the Awami League, reached her ancestral home at Tungipara in Gopalganj by road after crossing the Padma Bridge this morning.
She is scheduled to leave Tungipara for Dhaka in the afternoon.
