Hasina, the daughter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa, is the eldest among five children. She was born in Gopalganj’s Tungipara on Sept 28, 1947.

A number of ministries, the ruling Awami League and its affiliates celebrated the birthday of Hasina, who is now on an official visit to Washington DC, through a series of programmes.

The high commission added a photograph of a bouquet sent by Modi offering “greetings and good wishes” to Hasina and an old photo of them to the tweet.
