During the month of mourning, food was distributed among patients at Satkhira Medical College Hospital (SMCH). On Monday (August 21) at 12 noon at Medical College Hospital Satkhira Medical College Hospital director Sheetal Chowdhury spoke as the chief guest and distributed food to the Member of Parliament of Satkhira Sadar-2 Constituency Mir Mostak Ahmed Ravi.
The chief guest said at this time, today is the fateful 21st of August. Gunpowder and blood-stained horror, horror-horror August 21 is a shameful day of carnage in political history. Celebrating the 19th anniversary of the grenade attack. The horrific horror of the 21st August grenade attack still makes me cry. August 21 is the terrible day of one of the most brutal massacres in the history of Bangladesh. 19th anniversary of the infernal terrorist attack of death-destruction-blood.
During the BNP-Jamaat coalition government, this unprecedented massacre was carried out on August 21, 2004 at a peaceful political rally in the capital Dhaka. A monstrous terror of violence through grenade attacks infects humanity. On this day in 2004 during the BNP-Jamaat coalition government, an unimaginable hellish grenade attack on the Bangladesh Awami League’s ‘anti-terror, militancy and corruption’ rally on Bangabandhu Avenue.
It gave birth to a scandalous chapter in Bangladesh. The aim of the August 21 killers was to make Bangladesh Awami League leaderless and establish dictatorship and militancy in the country. The late President Md. 24 people were killed including Zillur Rahman’s wife and female Awami League leader Begum Ivy Rahman. Not just grenade attacks,
On that day, their main target was Bangabandhu’s daughter, Jannetri Sheikh Hasina, who fired six rounds at her car. In that incident, by the grace of Almighty Allah, the party leaders and activists protected the party president Sheikh Hasina by creating human armor. People’s leader Sheikh Hasina narrowly escaped that day but she was injured, her hearing was damaged. The Bengali nation today pays tribute to the 19th anniversary of the worst grenade attack in history.”
