"Remove the mosque: From the beginning of 1986, Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina renewed her push for the student movement. When the agitation did not budge despite many pressures, threats and urgings, he angrily left for Tungipara, his native land and his father's house, in mid-May and stayed in Tungipara for some time. In the meantime, one day when 20/30 Imams of Tungipara village including some Imams of Sheikh house (Sheikh Hasina's own house) came and proposed to cut down the coconut tree saying that the mosque built in the place of another partner of Sheikh house is being damaged by a coconut tree belonging to Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Hasina directly said that my coconut tree will not be cut. If necessary, remove the mosque. Then all the teachers repeatedly pleaded to cut down the coconut tree located at Sheikh Hasina's place, which is near the walls and site of the mosque, as it is forbidden to move the mosque in the Holy Quran. Then Sheikh Hasina said, close this mosque. I will build a bigger mosque. The Imams say that if there is a little wind, the coconut tree grows on the roof of the mosque. If this continues, the roof and walls of the mosque will soon collapse. Sheikh Hasina said, let it be broken, I don't care. Even if you cry for millions of years, I will not cut the coconut tree."
