The entire capital turned into a city of procession as thousands of people from every stratum of life joined the colourful procession arranged on Friday (June 21) to mark the 75th founding anniversary (Platinum Jubilee) of Awami League.
Thousands of leaders and workers of different units of Awami League and its associate bodies joined the procession that started from the Engineers Institution of Bangladesh adjacent to Suhrawardy Udyan, the historic place where the Pakistani military surrendered to the freedom fighters 52 years back, at around 4 pm.
Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader inaugurated the procession.
The procession passed through Shahbagh, Elephant Road, and Mirpur Road and ended on the historic Bangabandhu Bhaban premises at 32 Dhanmondi, the commemoration residence of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
