PM Hasina addressing mammoth rally in Jashore

The entire Jashore has turned into a sea of people for a rally of prime minister Sheikh Hasina at Shamsul Huda stadium -- a place where Bangabhondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his speech 50 years ago.    

Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Awami-League (AL), arrived at the rally venue a little while before 3:00pm. The rally started at 1:00pm with district AL president Shahidul Islam in the chair.  

District AL general secretary and the lawmaker Shaheen Chaklader conducted the event where the party’s presidium members Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Abdur Rahman and joint secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif, organising secretary BM Mozammel Haque and lawmaker Kazi Nabil Ahmed spoke.          

The leaders and activists of AL started thronging the stadium since Thursday morning with processions.

To welcome the prime minister, leaders and activists wore white t-shirts and red caps while women wore green sarees.
