Deputy High Commissioner Md Nural Islam read out the message from President Md Abdul Hamid; the message from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was read out by Assistant Defence Adviser Lieutenant Colonel Md Kamrul Hasan.

High Commissioner Imran said on August 15, 1975, the assassins also killed infant Russel with their brutal bullets, which is a chapter in history. "If Sheikh Russel remained alive, he would have played a role in building the Bangladesh of Bangabandhu's dream."
