Awami Jubo League is all set  to hold a grand youth rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on Friday marking its golden jubilee.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Awami League (AL), will address the rally as the chief guest in the afternoon.

Earlier, Jubo League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash said the organisation played a key role in the country's democratic movement and national development since its inception.

Jubo League has already held a series of meetings to make the rally a success.

Up to 75,000 t-shirts have been made for Dhaka City North and South Jubo League leaders and activists. Dhaka City North Jubo League has been instructed to wear green and South Jubo League red caps.

The organisation is all set for a massive showdown across the city on its 50th anniversary, Parash added.

On November 11, 1972, Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni, nephew of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founded the AL's youth body.
