Hasina frolics with grandchildren on Friday afternoon

When people watch the prime minister on television, they only see the official engagements - cutting ribbons, presiding over meetings, addressing public rallies and so on, but she juggles other roles as well – of a mother and a grandmother.

On an otherwise lazy Friday afternoon, Sheikh Hasina spent quality time as a grandmother with two children of her nephew Radwan Mujib Siddiq on the Ganabhaban lawn.

Radwan is the son of Hasina's younger sister Sheikh Rehana.

PM's Deputy Press Secretary Ashraful Alam Khokan on Friday posted two photos with a caption in Bangla that reads, “The honourable prime minister is with her grandchildren this afternoon. She spent fun-time with Leela and Kaiyus, children of Sheikh Rehana's son Radwan Mujib Siddiq Bobby."

"Our simple yet extraordinary Apa...our destination," he added.

On Jul 27, 2013, a similar picture showed her motherly affection when she went to the kitchen to make chicken-pulao on her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy's birthday.
