Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday in a message urged all to work together to strengthen the foundation of democracy.
General Ershad ousted Justice Sattar and assumed power in 1982 and continued his autocratic rule up to 1990. In 1990, he was forced to step down following a pro democracy mass-upheaval led by Awami League.
Many including Noor Hossain and Doctor Milon made supreme sacrifice in the anti-autocratic movement.
