"Sheikh Mujib's picture on ten taka: On a Friday morning, Finance Minister PS Dr. Pervez of Kibria, came to Prime Minister's residence Ganobhaban and showed the draft layout design of Sheikh Mujib's picture on ten taka to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina verbally approves the draft of the layout design of this new ten taka, only then it will be printed and released in the market as a new ten taka note. The layout design of this ten taka note had the image of house of Allah, Mosque on the top and the image of Sheikh Hasina's father Sheikh Mujib on the back. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina saw the draft in the layout design and said to the finance minister's PS Dr. Parvez angrily, What is it! Why is the picture of the father of the nation in behind? Finance Minister's PS Dr. Parvez was a bit unprepared and said that there is a picture of the mosque on the current ten taka notes in the market. Keeping in view the religious sentiments, the picture of the mosque above is fixed, and the picture of the Father of the Nation is given at the back. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in an angry voice, "I don't understand those mosques and mosques, they will print new ten taka notes with the picture of the father of the nation and release them in the market." My father is the father of the nation, that must be swallowed by this devil race. Then another day when Dr. Pervez brought the layout design with Sheikh Mujib's picture on the top and the mosque's picture on the back, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina saw it and was happy and gave her verbal approval. It is the new ten taka note with Sheikh Mujib's picture in the market today."
