The managing committee of Jatiya Press Club (JPC) on Saturday paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Tungipara in Gopalganj.

Members of JPC managing committee led by its President Farida Yeasmin, MP, and General Secretary Shyamol Dutta placed a floral wreath at the mausoleum of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of the architect of Bangladesh's independence, BSS reports.

Later, they offered prayer seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of Bangabandhu and other martyrs who had to embrace martyrdom on the fateful August 15, 1975. 

A special prayer was also offered wishing for longevity of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her family members.

JPC President Farida Yeasmin, MP, and Secretary Shyamol Dutta signed the visitors' book there.
