Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s portrait removed from Bangladesh President’s office, casting doubt on future of his legacy

Live Mint  

In another instance of Bangladesh interim government giving in to the demands of the students, chief advisor Muhammad Yunus ordered removal of the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from president's office. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the founding father of Bangladesh and also, father of Sheikh Hasina who was forced to resign and leave country in view of the student uprising that often turned violent. As Sheikh Hasina fled, their fury turned toward her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, whose legacy so far endured through street names, public landmarks, and impassioned speeches. On his death anniversary, 10 days after Sheikh Hasina fled, a large group of stick-wielding people positioned themselves in front of the Bangabandhu's residence-turned-museum and foiled attempts by deposed premier Sheikh Hasina’s supporters to commemorate the anniversary of the assassination of her father and Bangladesh's founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
