The 77th birthday of Prime Minister and Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina will be celebrated across the country tomorrow (September 28).

Sheikh Hasina, the eldest among the five children of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatun Nesa Mujib, was born at Tungipara in Gopalganj on September 28, 1947.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is now abroad as she left the country to join the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Following the footprint of Bangabandhu, she also delivered her speech in Bangla at the UNGA like the previous years.

Awami League (AL) and its affiliated bodies and socio-cultural organizations will celebrate the day through various programmes highlighting the life and achievements of Sheikh Hasina, who is driving the nation towards prosperity.

On the occasion, discussions, milad and doa mahfils and special prayers will be organised in the capital and across the country.

In 2008, she led the Grand Alliance to an overwhelming victory acquiring 90 percent of parliament seats in the general elections. She was elected the Prime Minister on January 5, 2014 for the second time in a row.

Sheikh Hasina assumed office of the Prime Minister for third consecutive term with a thumping victory in general elections in December 2018.

Under her leadership, Bangladesh has become a role model for development, attaining steady economic growth, becoming self-sufficient in food and attaining a marked progress in the fields of women empowerment, agriculture, education, health, infrastructure, communication, energy and power, trade and commerce, ICT and the SME sectors.
