NEW DELHI, 20 March, 2021 (TON): The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) supplied 100 such custom-designed "Mujeeb Jackets" to the Indian High Commission (IHC) in Dhaka.

To commemorate the birth anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangladesh’s golden jubilee independence, the dignitaries at the Indian High Commission will wear the signature garment honoring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's Father of the Nation as the garment will be the key attire of dignitaries during Prime Minister Modi's diplomatic visit to the nation on March 26-27.

KVIC Chairman, Vinai Kumar Saxena said, "As Bangladesh celebrates 'Mujib Borsho', the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Cultural Centre of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, had placed an order for 100 Mujeeb Jackets, ahead of the Prime Minister's visit."

"The Prime Minister always accorded top priority to Khadi during his diplomatic visits. This is to carry forward the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi who always carried Khadi products specially a Khadi handkerchief with him and presented it to dignitaries during his foreign visits," he added.

However, it is likely to say that Modi has always been particular about Khadi and its heritage and cultural value to strengthen diplomatic ties with foreign countries.
