15 August 1975
August 15, the darkest of dawns
The dawn had not broken yet. Tanks rumbled down the empty roads to their destinations -- one of the teams headed for President Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence at House 677 of Road 32 in Dhanmondi.
Nation mourns Bangabandhu
People from all walks of life streamed onto Dhanmondi Road-32 yesterday to pay tribute to the Father of the Nation, as speeches of Bangabandhu and patriotic songs reverberated through the city.
BLOODBATH on road 32
It was not dawn yet. A false dawn spread its pale light across the sky. At House 677 of Road 32 in Dhanmondi, it was time to change guards while everybody was still in deep sleep: President Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, his wife Begum Mujib, sons Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell, daughters-in-law, and brother Sheikh Naser.
August 15, thereafter
We still suffer from the fallout of August 15.
No going back to post-75 darkness: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday urged all to stay alert so that the country was not plunged into the dark era of post-1975.
Justice still elusive in 3 other Aug 15 cases
Though the nation got justice for the assassination of the Father of the Nation 34 long years after the incident, justice is yet to be done for three more attacks carried out on August 15, 1975.
National Mourning Day today / Shame darker than the night
It was around 3:00am of August 15, 1975. Preparations for carrying out a barbaric assassination were almost done. Major Syed Faruk Rahman, one of the masterminds of the massacre, was sitting on a stool in front of the lancer unit headquarters in Dhaka Cantonment. An operation map was open on his knees. Execution of which would send a massive blow to the newly independent Bangladesh. Major Khandaker Abdur Rashid, another mastermind, was standing beside him.
Righting The Grievous Wrong / 34 years for justice
What caused the delay of as long as 34 years in holding the trial of the killings of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman?
