DHAKA—The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today observed the National Mourning Day with due respect and solemnity.

In observance of the National Mourning Day 2021 which marked the 46th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the BCB has distributed food at orphanages and madrassas.

Food was handed over to the poor and needy at the BCB National Cricket Academy Ground as well in the presence of BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon, MP.

Recitation from the Holy Quran and special prayers have also been arranged at the BCB Office.

“What Bangabandhu has done for the country and our sports, should always be remembered,” BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon said.

“But some heinous people killed him on this day 46 years back to stop the development of the country and sports. Due to this heinous incident, we lost our track as a nation. However, Bangabandhu’s daughter again brought back us on track and began the development work which was stopped after the assasination of Bangabandhu,” the BCB chief said.BSS
