PM gifted rare photo of Bangabandhu
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina could not check her emotions as she observed an image of her father, captured in a rare photo moment in 1972.
The photo of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was a gift to her from Anwar Ali, a former driver of Bangladesh Embassy in Germany.
It shows Ali driving a car with the Father of the Nation sitting on the back seat during his trip to Frankfurt, Germany in 1972.
Handing the photo to the PM at a seminar at Hotel Adlon in Berlin yesterday, a tearful Ali said he was proud of driving Bangabandhu's car.
Ali retired from service in 2006.
Sheikh Hasina extended her gratitude to Ali.
