As the unrest in Bangladesh continues, the country's central bank has announced it will be printing new curr🍌ency notes under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. These n♉otes will be printed without the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - a key figure in the formation of Bangaldesh.
Furthermore, the row between India and Bangladesh continues to escalate. As per latest reports, Ban🌄gladesh has recalled its acting high commissioners from the Kolkata and Agartala miss🍒ions in India.
Bangladesh Bank is printing new notes, the Dhaka Tribune reported. As per the local daily, the central bank will be printing new notes of Taka 20, 100, 500, and 1,000 on instructions from the interim governmen🐻t.
The new notes will erase 🧜the imageღ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - Sheikh Hasina's father and a key founding father of the country. The new notes will instead feature images from the student protests from July this year.
“The new notes will not include image🉐 of 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rah𝓰man,” the paper reported, quoting the bank.
The protests across Bangladesh questioned and scrutinis𒈔ed the legacy of Mujibur Rahma꧙n. During the July uprising, many protestors toppled statues and vandalised murals of the "founding father."
Amid the row with India, Bangladesh has reportedly recalled its heads of the Kolkata and Agartala missions. As per a report by Prothom Alo, the acting deputy high commissioner of Bangladesh in Kolkata, Shikdar Md Ashrafu♏r Rahman, and the assistant high commissioner in Tripura, Arifur Rahman, have been instructed to return to Dhaka on a "urgent basis".
The Bengali daily also added that the Kolkata head as returned tﷺo Dhaka and the Tripura mission head is exp♊ected to return soon.
The recall of diplomats comes a day after demo🌜nstrators broke into 🔯the Bangladesh High Commission in Agartala, Tripura to protest against the ongoing violence against Hindu minorities.
