The Bangladesh Awami League was born out of the demands of its time and with the mission of shaping history. On this day in 1949, the party was founded at Rose Garden in Old Dhaka under historic circumstances. It would later go on to lead Bangladesh’s struggle for independence and play a central role in the nation’s major achievements.
Through decades of challenges, sacrifices, and continuous struggle, the Awami League has fought for the rights of the people and worked to improve their lives. Considering its history, heritage, struggles, accomplishments, and contributions, the Bangladesh Awami League stands as the most successful political institution in the country’s history.
June 23 marks the 77th founding anniversary of the Bangladesh Awami League. The party has announced the following programs to observe the occasion:
Commemorative Programs
* Tribute at the historic Bangabandhu Memorial House premises at Dhanmondi 32.
* Tribute and prayers at Banani Graveyard in memory of those martyred on August 15 and during the Jail Killing of November 3.
