PM, new cabinet members pay homage to Bangabandhu

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday paid her respect at the mural of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Tungipara of Gopalganj by placing floral wreaths. She was flanked by the new cabinet colleagues.

 The PM reached Tungipara at around 11am on Saturday. This is her first visit there after the 12th parliament was established.

President Mohammed Shahabuddin administered the oath of office and oath of secrecy to Sheikh Hasina and her new ministers at Durbar Hall of Bangabhaban at 7:06pm on Thursday.

Her council of ministers included 25 ministers and 11 state ministers.
