BNP will observe the 37th death anniversary of its founder Ziaur Rahman across the country today with due respect. The party and different socio-political organisations have taken up elaborate programmes, including holding discussions, wearing black badges, publishing posters and supplements in newspapers and distributing food among the destitute, to mark the anniversary.
