Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday paid tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and four national leaders marking the Jail Killing Day.
The day is observed to remember national leaders Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, Captain M Mansur Ali and AHM Quamruzzaman who were assassinated inside Dhaka Central Jail on November 3 in 1975. They played a crucial role in the 1971 War of Liberation of Bangladesh.
The massacre happened barely three months after anti-liberation elements assassinated Bangabandhu and most of his family members on August 15, 1975 at his 32 Dhanmandi residence.
In observance of the day the premier placed wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at 32 Dhanmondi here.
