PM Tarique Rahman chooses Gulshan home over Jamuna

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will continue to stay at his private residence in Dhaka’s Gulshan instead of moving to the official residence Jamuna.

“Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will stay at his own residence in Gulshan. He is not moving into Jamuna,” PM’s Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon said.

He said the prime minister is more comfortable living in his Gulshan residence, which is smaller than Jamuna.

“After returning to the country, he moved into this house, and it has been arranged accordingly,” he added.

The previous prime minister's residence at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar was damaged during the mass uprising on August 5, 2024, and was later turned into a museum by the interim government.

During that period, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus used the State Guest House Jamuna as his official residence.

After Tarique Rahman took oath as prime minister, the Ministry of Housing and Public Works prepared Jamuna as the official residence for the prime minister.

Rumon said state functions of the prime minister will be held at Jamuna.

“Two Iftar programmes hosted by the prime minister for diplomats and religious leaders have already been held there,” he said.

He said the prime minister will exchange Eid greetings with diplomats, distinguished citizens and people from all walks of life at 10:00am on Eid day at Jamuna.
