Awami League supporters tried to gather at Dhanmondi-32 today (15 August) to pay tribute on the death anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
BNP activists, who had taken position in the area since morning, resisted anyone attempting to lay flowers or offer respects at the site, where Mujibur Rahman's residence once stood.

The house was largely destroyed after Sheikh Hasina fled the country in the face of mass protests last year, but the location still draws Awami League supporters on special occasions.
