Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina has inaugurated the party's 21st national council at the histrionic Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Friday (Dec 20). Since dawn, the ruling party’s leaders and activists from all over the country started gathering outside of the venue, and turned it to a festive ground.
Around 7,500 councillors, 15,000 delegates, and 5,000 special guests would join the council, according to party insiders. Security has been heightened surrounding the venue as well as entire Dhaka centering the event.
