PM's 74th birthday celebrated

The 74th birthday of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was celebrated across the country Monday reiterating the vow to rally round the Awami League president in turning the country into a developed one by 2041 under her dynamic leadership, reports BSS.
On September 28 in 1947, Sheikh Hasina, the eldest of the five children of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib, was born at Tungipara in Gopalganj district.
The celebration of the birthday of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina this year got a momentum as the global pandemic COVID-19 created the scope for her to stay home on her birthday.
The premier usually stays in the United States of America (USA) during the time to attend the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session every year.
Like previous years, AL and its affiliated organisations celebrated the day through various programmes, including discussions, doa-mahfils, special prayers, distributing foods among the poor and organizing photo exhibitions abiding by the appropriate health guidelines, across the country highlighting the life and achievements of Sheikh Hasina, who is driving the nation towards prosperity following the footsteps of her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Marking the day, a doa and milad mahfil was held at the AL central office in the city's Bangabandhu Avenue in the afternoon.
