Bulbul Ahmed, a farmer of Charkauna village of Pakundia upazila of Kishoreganj district, and his wife Israt Jahan, reared a cow as a gift to Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina for sacrifice in Eid-ul-Azha, reports UNB.
The PM has agreed to accept this cow as a gift out of respect for their love.
On Friday (June 09) evening, PM's special assistant Moshiur Rahman Humayun informed the PM about the matter. At that time the PM agreed to accept the cow as a gift.
Bulbul Ahmed is the organising secretary of Kishoreganj District of Awami Matsyajibi League.
PM's Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Jahid Tusher confirmed the matter.
He said that the PM was happy and thanked Bulbul Ahmed and his wife for their rare love.
Tushar said that the prime minister's wish is that this cow will remain at Bulbul Ahmed's house and will be sacrificed there during Eid-ul-Azha.
PM Sheikh Hasina requested them to distribute the sacrificial beef among the local poor and helpless people.
Ahmed's cow is cross Brahma breed. He said that this cow can have approximately 800 kilogram of meat.
Ahmed said that he bought this cow from Netrakona district for Tk 250,000 as a gift for the Prime Minister in 2020.
After buying the cow, he also decided to donate Tk 5000 in the famous Pagla mosque of Kishoreganj district so that his cow would remain healthy.
Ahmed said that he and his wife Israt Jahan, who is working as a field worker at Pally Sanchay Bank, bought this cow for the prime minister by taking a small loan from the Awami League government's 'One house, One farm' project and with their own deposit. They took care of the cow closely for the last three years.
