A picture of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina standing in front of a Delhi street named after her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has gone viral on social media.
Her son and ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy shared the
photo on his official Facebook page on Friday.
India changed the name of the prominent street in the heart of its capital and
renamed it after Bangladesh's founding father ahead of Hasina’s last month tour as a
friendly gesture.
Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi unveiled the plaque of the renamed Park Street.
An elated Hasina is seen smiling as she walks before a sign bearing the street name – Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Road – in Hindi, English, Urdu and colloquial language.
The photo has so far been liked by more than 21,000 Facebook users.
A Hindi translation of Bangabandhu's
Unfinished Memoir was also unveiled during the prime minister's Delhi visit.
