Wednesday, 5 November 2008
Former premier and Bangladesh Awami League president Sheikh Hasina left the US capital for London en route to Bangladesh, party leaders said Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
The former prime minister brought her return date forward by four days, to November 6 instead of November 10, following the Election Commission's announcement of parliamentary polls schedule earlier in the week.
She is scheduled to return home at 8:30 am, with Awami League (AL) planning a massive gathering of supporters, to line the route from Zia International Airport to her Sudha Sadan residence, to welcome home the AL chief.
The AL's central committee met Tuesday with Dhaka City AL leaders, presidents of AL district units and associate organisations, among others, on plans for her homecoming.
