Dhaka, Jan 10 (TIWN) Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday paid tributes on the 50th anniversary of Homecoming Day, which marks Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's return to the country in 1972 after spending months in a Pakistan jail.

Flanked by ministers and central leaders of Bangladesh Awami League, Sheikh Hasina placed another wreath at the portrait as the Bangladesh Awami League party president.

Later, leaders of Awami League's associate bodies—including: Jubo League, Chhatra League, Sramik League, Mohila Awami League, Swechchhasebak League, Krishak League, and different socio-cultural organizations—placed wreaths at the portrait of the great leader.

Homecoming day marks the day Bangabandhu returned to an independent Bangladesh—via London and New Delhi—on January 10, 1972. This followed his 290 days of captivity in a Pakistani jail.
