Staff Correspondent: Dhaka, Aug-21,
Awami League and its associate organisations on Saturday paid tributes to the martyrs of the August 21 grenade attack that left 24 killed and hundreds injured 17 years ago.
Among the dead was Ivy
Rahman, the women affairs secretary of Awami League, as hand grenades rained on
an anti-terrorism rally addressed by then Opposition leader Sheikh Hasina at Bangabandhu Avenue. She narrowly escaped
the attack.
AL leaders and workers
gathered at the site of the attack and stood in silence for a few minutes
before placing wreaths there in the morning.
In observance of the
day the ruling party also held a discussion meeting where Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina spoke virtually.
