The 43rd Homecoming Day of Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be observed on Wednesday.
On 17 May, 1981, Sheikh Hasina returned home from India after nearly six years in exile following the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujiburn Rahman and most of his family members by a cabal of army officers on 15 August 1975.
Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana escaped the carnage as they were in Germany at the time.

Awami League and its associate bodies have chalked out various programmes, including milad, doamahfil and discussions, to mark the day.
