BRAC Bank's senior management team led by Selim RF Hussain, managing director and chief executive officer, has visited Tungipara in Gopalganj to pay respects and offered prayers for the departed soul of Bangabandhu Skeikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of the nation.

On the eve of the 48th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation and National Mourning Day, the team commemorated the great leader by placing flowers at his grave at the Mausoleum of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, according to a press release Monday. 

Bangabandhu's contribution to the nation is highly revered, and the visit served as a poignant reminder of his unparalleled sacrifices.

Standing at his eternal resting place, the BRAC Bank team stood in solemn silence and prayed for the salvation of the departed soul of the great statesman. 

Hussain shared his heartfelt sentiments for Bangabandhu, saying, "We are a lucky lot to have had Bangabandhu as our leader, who presented us with the opportunity to become citizens of an independent nation. We offer our sincere prayers for the salvation of Bangabandhu and his martyred family members' souls. The contributions and sacrifices of Bangabandhu will be remembered by Bangladeshis for centuries to come. We are forever grateful."

The team from BRAC Bank also toured Bangabandhu's ancestral home, gaining deeper insight into his life and accomplishments. Hussain, moved by the experience, wrote an appreciatory note in the visitors' book, commemorating the unforgettable day.

Deputy Managing Director and CFO M Masud Rana FCA, Deputy Managing Director and COO Md Sabbir Hossain and senior management team of BRAC Bank were present.

As part of the observance of National Mourning Day, BRAC Bank will also organise a du’a mahfil, put mourning banner in all branches, and plant trees.
