DHAKA, Aug 23, 2023 (BSS) - The Nineteenth death anniversary of Begum Ivy
Rahman, former Women Affairs Secretary of the ruling Awami League and wife of
late President Md Zillur Rahman, will be observed tomorrow.

Ivy Rahaman, also former president of Bangladesh Mahila Samity, received
grievous injuries during a grisly grenade attack on an Awami League rally at
Bangabandhu Avenue in the city on August 21 in 2004 during the BNP-Jammat
alliance government and succumbed to her injuries on August 24.

To mark the day, different political and socio-cultural organizations,
including Bangladesh Awami League and its associate bodies have chalked out
elaborate programs.

The programs include placing wreaths and offering Fateha at her grave at
Banani graveyard in the capital, arranging milad mahfil, special prayers and
holding discussions in the capital.

Central leaders of Awami League and advisory council and its associate bodies
will pay rich tributes to Ivy Rahman by placing wreaths at her grave at 9am.
