PM's artwork goes viral on Facebook

A painting by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has gone viral on Facebook.

The painting, portraying the natural beauty of Bangladesh's riverside during monsoon, was created by Hasina in 1994.

Nasrul Hamid, the state minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, shared a photo of the painting on his Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon. The post went viral with some 522 likes and some 27 comments within hours. It has been shared 110 times.

“This image of nature has been painted by the premier herself in 1994,” Nasrul said in the photo caption. 

In the painting, some small boats are seen stationed on a river bank while the sky seems to be cloudy.

No official Facebook page or account of the prime minister is available. Her son and ICT Adviser Sajeeb Wazed owns a verified Facebook page.
