Zia’s 41st death anniv today
BNP is observing the 41st death anniversary of its founder and former president Ziaur Rahman today.
The party and its different associated bodies have drawn up a 10-day programme to observe the death anniversary across the country.
The observance of Zia's death anniversary programmes began yesterday through holding a discussion at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, in the capital. The programmes will end on June 7.
