What happened on this day in 1975
On August 15, 1975, at Bangabandhu's residence at 32 Dhanmondi, the horrific incident that took place on that day, even the worst murderer in the world would be shocked. On that day, the killers attacked Bangabandhu's residence number 32 in the darkness of the night in a demonic way. On that day, blood, brain and bone powder were scattered on the walls, window glass, floor and ceiling of every floor of that building. He was a strange sight. Blood flows throughout the house. The walls were also scratched by bullets that day. All the household items were scattered around in the sea of blood. The Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, dressed in check lungi and white Punjabi, riddled with assassin's bullets, lay frozen in the middle of the stairs of the first floor. His abdomen and chest were riddled with bullets. His broken glasses lay next to the frozen body.
Sheikh Kamal, telephone operator in the reception room, Begum Mujib in front of the main bedroom, Sultana Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, Rozi Jamal were in the bedroom, Sheikh Nasser in the bathroom next to the stairs of the ground floor and the body of the little child Sheikh Russell was lying in the middle of the two sisters in the main bedroom. Seeing the blood-soaked body of the baby Russell wrapped in a lungi, it became very difficult for every human being in the humanitarian world to find the language to express extreme hatred towards the murderers.
Bangabandhu's eldest daughter Sheikh Hasina, the current prime minister and Awami League president, and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, Bangabandhu's youngest daughter, survived as they were not in the country that day. At that time the husband said. Sheikh Hasina was staying with Wazed Mia in Karlsruhe, Germany with her children. Sheikh Rehana was also with her elder sister at that time.
The nation today remembers this day with deep reverence. Various events have been organized on this occasion.
