The 89th birth anniversary of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman was celebrated today in the capital city and elsewhere across the country through various programmes.
The programme of the birth anniversary of the founding President of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Ziaur Rahman began this morning with the hoisting of the party flag at its central office in Nayapaltan in the city.
Later, at 11 am, BNP's senior leaders including Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir paid rich tribute to Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman by placing floral wreaths at his grave at the city's Sher-e-Banglanagar.
Ziaur Rahman, also the founder of multi-party democracy in Bangladesh, was born on this day (January 19) in 1936 in Bagbari Village of Nashipur Union, of Gabtoli in Bogura district. He was the second of five children of chemist Mansur Rahman and Jahanara Khatun. His nickname was Kamal.
On August 15, 1975, the then President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members were brutally murdered by a group of army members. Then, on November 7 through the eventful Sepoy-People Rebellion, Ziaur Rahman came to the center of the state power.
On September 1, 1978, President Ziaur Rahman founded the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). The former President was killed by a group of misguided army members on May 30, 1981.
