Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will remain at his private residence in Gulshan, rather than moving into the official prime ministerial residence, Jamuna.
Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon confirmed the matter. He said the PM feels comfortable living in his relatively small house in Gulshan.
“After returning to the country, he moved into this house, and it has been arranged accordingly,” he added.
The previous PM’s residence at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar was damaged during the mass uprising on 5 August, 2024, and was later turned into a museum by the interim government.
During that period, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus used the State Guest House Jamuna as his official residence.
After Tarique Rahman took oath as PM, the Ministry of Housing and Public Works prepared Jamuna as the official residence for him.
However, he has decided not to move into the residence.
Rumon said the state functions of the PM will be held at Jamuna. “Two iftar programmes hosted by the PM for diplomats and religious leaders have already been held there.”
He said the PM will exchange Eid greetings with diplomats, distinguished citizens and people from all walks of life at 10am on Eid day at Jamuna.
