Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her younger sister Sheikh Rehana and family members paid a visit to places of memories with their mother in Digholia upazila of Khulna on Friday.
Sheikh Hasina, accompanied by others, on a personal trip, went to the upazila from Gopalganj on road to visit the spots at 3:58pm.
She and others stayed for around 40 minutes at the land and jute warehouse bought in the name of her mother Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib.
Later, the prime minister also paid a visit to the house of her late paternal uncle Sheikh Abu Naser where Bangabandhu used to stay.
Sheikh Hasina’s paternal cousin and also lawmaker Sheikh Helal Uddin, lawmaker Sheikh Salahuddin Jewel, Khulna City Corporation Mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleque and senior leaders of the party welcomed her at the Abu Naser’s house.
She left Khulna after offering the Maghrib prayers at the house.
Awami League leaders and locals said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman bought a jute warehouse and a one-room house built on 1.44 acres of land in the name of his wife Fazilatunnesa nearby the Bhairab River in the Nagarghat area during the Pakistan regime.
Sheikh Hasina came to know about the land through her lawyers in 2007.
A rest house was built on the land by demolishing the old establishments in 2020.
On the occasion of the arrival of the prime minister, movement of water transports remained suspended in the Rupsa and Bhairab rivers since Thursday night as part of tight security measures taken in the district.
