In Bangladesh, preparations are being made to remove the picture of President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the currency notes. According to the Dhaka Tribune, the Bangladesh Central Bank is printing new notes bearing images of the violent July protests. New bank notes of 20, 100, 500 and 1,000 taka are being printed on the instructions of the interim government.
The newspaper quoted the bank as saying that the new notes will not have Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s picture. Bangladesh Bank Executive Director Husnera Shikha said-
The new notes will include religious structures, Bengali traditions and photographs taken during the July rebellion. I hope that the new note can be released in the market within the next six months.
According to the newspaper, bank and finance ministry officials said that the existing picture of Sheikh Mujib would be removed from the notes. Initially the design of four notes is being changed. The rest will be changed in different phases.
The Finance Institute Division of the Finance Ministry had submitted a detailed design proposal for the new notes in September.

Boycott appeal by burning Indian sarees
On the other hand, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi protested against India by burning his wife’s Indian saree. He appealed to all the party workers to boycott all Indian products. This demonstration of Rizvi was against the infiltration in Dhaka Commission in Agartala.
Rizvi appealed to boycott every Indian product along with saree, from soap, toothpaste to chilli and papaya. He said- Even if we eat food once a day, we will stand strong and remain self-reliant. Rizvi also accused the Indian media of spreading wrong news.
Attack on many symbols related to Sheikh Mujib
Since the coup in Bangladesh in August 2024, symbols associated with Sheikh Mujib are being continuously attacked. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s statue was vandalized in Dhaka and his nameplates installed in many public places were removed. The interim government had also canceled 8 government holidays related to independence and founding days.
