Abahani Limited and ‘Abahani Shomorthok Ghosthi’ have chalked out various programmes marking the 69th birth anniversary of Shaheed Sheikh Kamal, the eldest son of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, today (Sunday).
The Abahani and the organization of its supporters will pay tribute to Sheikh Kamal by placing wreaths at his portrait on Dhanmondi Abahani Club premises at 12.01 am (early Sunday).
They will visit his grave at the Banani Graveyard at 11 am and hold a doa-mahfil there seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of him, Bangabandhu and other family members who were assassinated by a group of disgruntled army personnel on the fateful night of August 15, 1975.
Abahani Shomorthok Ghosthi today arranged an art competition on occasion of Sheikh Kamal’s birthday at Abahanai club ground. A large number of children took part in the competition.
Sheikh Kamal was one of the pioneers of modern football in Bangladesh and also founder-president of Abahani Krira Chakra.
