The residence of Bangladesh's founder, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, in Dhaka, was vandalized on February 5 during a live online address by his daughter, Sheikh Hasina, the deposed prime minister.
In the special briefing by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday, Foreign Secretary gave a response to the query over the vandalism of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's residence in Dhaka.
