Bangladesh’s New Banknotes Replace Sheikh Hasina’s Father With Temples, Mosques, Heritage Icons

Bangladesh issued new banknotes on Sunday, removing designs that previously featured the portrait of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s father and the nation’s founding president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.Until now, all notes featured the portrait of the late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who led Bangladesh from its independence from Pakistan in 1971 until soldiers assassinated him and most of his family in a 1975 coup. However, the new notes will now feature traditional landmarks of the country. n18oc_world News18 Mobile App –
