Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Friday paid tribute to the martyrs of the Liberation War by placing wreaths at the National Memorial in Savar.
After placing the wreath at 9:53am amid heavy rain he stood in solemn silence there for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memories of the martyrs of the War of Liberation in 1971, reports UNB.
A smartly turned-out contingent drawn from Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Air Force presented state salute on the occasion when bugles played the last post.
Other advisers of the newly formed interim government, the chiefs of the three services, and high civil and military officials were present.
Later, flanked by other advisers, he also placed another wreath there.
The chief adviser signed the visitor's book.
Nobel laureate and globally acclaimed economist Prof Muhammad Yunus was sworn-in as the chief adviser of the interim government on Thursday night.
He took over the responsibility four days after the fall of Awami League government in a student-led mass movement.
