Bangladesh Awami League (AL) will hold a discussion at Krishibid Institution of Bangladesh (KIB) at Khamarbari in city’s Farmgate area on Monday afternoon as part of its programmes marking the 13th anniversary of grisly grenade attacks on August 21 in 2004.
On August 21in 2004, at least 24 people, mostly AL leaders and workers including senior leader Ivy Rahman, were killed and many others including journalists received serious splinter injuries in the grenade attacks launched on an anti-terrorism rally of AL at Bangabandhu Avenue in the city.
The incumbent Prime Minister and the then opposition leader Sheikh Hasina narrowly escaped the grisly carnage.
Awami League and its associate bodies chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the day.
Prime Minister and AL President Sheikh Hasina will preside over the discussion meeting at KIB where national leaders and country’s noted intellectuals will be present.
In a statement on Saturday, AL General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader called upon all, particularly leaders and workers of AL and its associate bodies, to make the programme a success.
