D-8 Congratulates Bangladesh on Its Independence Day
Dhaka, Bangladesh | March 27, 2008 by
Bangladesh today celebrated her 38th Independence and National Day paying tributes to the martyred war heroes.
A 31-gun salute at dawn heralded the day. President Professor Iajuddin Ahmed and caretaker government Chief Advisor Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed led the nation in paying tributes to the martyrs of the Liberation War by placing wreaths at the National Monument at Savar, 30 km north of capital Dhaka, at sunrise, reported by Bangladeshi media sources.
Chief adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed called upon people from all walks of life Tuesday to come forward with a view to building the country in the spirit of the Liberation War. “The people of Bangladesh have huge potential. They can bring a change to the country if they get the opportunities and a favourable atmosphere,” the chief adviser said while addressing the Independence Award 2008 ceremony at Osmani Memorial Auditorium.
Thousands of people from all walks of life paid glowing tributes to the millions of martyrs by placing wreaths at the altar of the monument.
President Ahmed later took salute from a spectacular parade in the capital as the military demonstrated its might on the country’s Independence Day.
It was a public holiday. National flags were flown at government and private offices and buildings. To save electricity, the government dropped the program of illumination in the evening.
On the occasion, President Professor Dr Iajuddin Ahmed and Chief Adviser Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed greeted the people issuing separate messages that also carried call for them to work unitedly for building a forward-looking developed Bangladesh based on an equitable society.
