Farmer Bulbul Ahmed and his wife Israt Jahan raised a cow as a present for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Eid-ul-Azha sacrifice in Charkauna village, Pakundia upazila, Kishoreganj district.
Out of respect for their affection, the prime minister has consented to receive this cow as a gift.

Hasan Jahid Tusher, the deputy press secretary for the prime minister, confirmed the information.
The Prime Minister was pleased, he said, and Bulbul Ahmed and his wife were recognized for their exceptional love.
According to Tushar, the prime minister wanted this cow to stay at Bulbul Ahmed’s home so that it may be sacrificed there on Eid-ul-Azha.
They were asked by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to give the sacrificed meat to the area’s destitute and defenseless citizens.
The cow owned by Ahmed is a Brahma hybrid. He estimated that this cow might produce about 800 kilograms of meat.
To give the Prime Minister a gift in 2020, Ahmed claimed to have purchased this cow from the Netrakona area for Tk 2.5 lac.
