Comrade Tajul Islam's 39th death anniversary today

The 39th death anniversary of Comrade Tajul Islam, former Bangladesh Chhatra Union leader and a shifting worker at the Adamjee Jute Mills, will be observed in the country in a befitting manner today (Wednesday), reports BSS.
He was killed on March 1 in 1984 when police opened fire on a procession brought out by Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad (SKOP) to realise the five-point demand of the then 11 workers' organisation.
The Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) every year observes the day as Shaheed Tajul Dibos.
Marking the day, the CPB will pay homage to Tajul Islam by placing wreaths at the altar of the temporary Shaheed Minar set up in front of the party's central office Mukti Bhaban in the city's Purana Paltan area, said a press release.
