Today is the 46th death anniversary of Lt Col Muhammad Abdul Qadir, who embraced martyrdom on April 17, 1971.
A milad mahfil will be held at the Qadirabad Cantonment Central Moque for the peace of the departed soul, says a press release.
The Qadirabad Cantonment in Natore district was named after him for his role in the 1971 Liberation War. The government also issued a postal stamp on him as one of the martyred intellectuals.
Qadir’s grave was found in 2007 and he was reburied with full state and military honour in 2011 at Qadirabad Cantonment.
He is the father of eminent journalist Nadeem Qadir, who is currently the minister (press) in the Bangladesh High Commission in London.
