Mujib coat

This used to be the signature garment worn by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.

However, sources close to Rahman and senior Awami League leaders claimed that there was no relation between Mujib Coat and Six-point charter.

[3] When Sheikh Mujib started to wear this coat is not well-established, but it is alleged that he wore it when the Awami League was founded in 1949.

Kamal Hossain, who was Rahman's lawyer in the Agartala Conspiracy Case, and a very close political aide, stated that Rahman started to wear this distinctively designed coat from 1968 onwards.

It is now recognized as an iconic honour, particularly among Awami League politicians who wear the Mujib Coat as part of their leader's ideology and tradition.
