In one of the most significant and sweeping changes under the regime of the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of Bangladesh, currency notes in the neighbouring country will no longer bear the photographs of the ‘father of the nation’ late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, whose daughter Sheikh Hasina had an unceremonious exit from the country last year after stepping down as prime minister.
According to reports, Bangladesh has recently started issuing newly designed banknotes which do not feature the photograph of the founder of the country, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, popularly also referred to as ‘Bangabandhu’.
It has been learnt that the authorities in Bangladesh, just ahead of Sunday (June 1), reportedly issued a new series of currency notes which, for a historic first time, do not feature Mujibur Rahman’s photograph.
