City Desk :
President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have paid rich tributes to four national leaders on the occasion of the Jail Killing Day, recalling their immense contributions to the War of Liberation and the nation.

On the eve of the day, in separate messages, they also prayed for eternal peace of the departed souls of the four national leaders, reports BSS.

In his message, President Mohammed Shahabuddin said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s close aides four national leaders — Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, Captain M Mansur Ali and AHM Qamaruzzaman — were brutally killed by anti-liberation forces inside the Dhaka Central Jail on November 3, 1975.
“I pay deep respect to their memories,” he added.

Noting that the country’s independence was achieved under the leadership of Bangabandhu, the undisputed leader of the Bangalee Nation and the architect of Independent Bangladesh, he said Bangabandhu proclaimed independence of Bangladesh on March 26, 1971 and eventually the Liberation War started at his call.
