The interim government of Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh is gradually erasing the legacy of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country's founding leader. As part of this, his image has been removed from new currency notes, ending a decades-old tradition.
After Sheikh Hasina resigned amid student protests and fled to India, efforts have intensified to diminish her father’s influence. The Awami League has been dissolved, and Mujibur Rahman’s role is being sidelined.
Bangladesh Bank announced that the new note designs will no longer feature human images but will showcase landscapes and cultural heritage. The first batch, including images of Hindu and Buddhist temples, was released Sunday.
