The leaders and workers of the organisation will pay tributes to the Father of the Nation by placing wreaths at his portrait in front of historical Bangabandhu Bhaban at Dhanmondi Road No. 32 at 9am.
A discussion will be held at the BASL’s central office in the city’s Bangabandhu Avenue at 4pm.

At the outset of the discussion, a 5.31-minute documentary on the last one year’s activities of the organisation will be screened, while a book titled “Swechchhasebar Ek Bochhor” (one year of voluntary services) will be unveiled.
Later, the BASL leaders will cut a cake on the occasion of the birthday of Prime Minister’s Information and Communication Technology Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy and offer doa, seeking his long life and good health.
