The Cabinet Division has sent a list of the presidents to Bangabhaban, mentioning Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the first president of the country.
Abdul Wadud, joint secretary of the Cabinet Division, said they sent the list of the presidents on Thursday.
On May 26, Bangabhaban sent a letter to the Cabinet Division asking the list of the presidents of Bangladesh with their tenures.
The move came following BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman's claim that Ziaur Rahman was the first president of the country.
Tarique, son of former president Ziaur Rahman and former three-times prime minister Khaleda Zia, at a seminar in London before the Independence Day said Ziaur Rahman, a sector commander in 1971, was the first president in Bangladesh.
Khaleda Zia later also endorsed his view and publicly said her spouse was the first president.
