Jamuna State Guest House is the official guest house of the government of Bangladesh for visiting heads of states located in Ramna Thana, Dhaka.[2][3]
History
[edit]In 2009 after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was elected, she moved to Jamuna State Guest House as the official residence of the Prime Minister, Gonobhaban, was being renovated.[4] She moved from her private residence to the guest house on the advice of intelligence agencies who were concerned over her security.[5]
Following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina in the Non-cooperation movement (2024) on 5 August, Muhammad Yunus was appointed as the Chief Advisor of the interim government and resided at the Jamuna State Guest House. This decision was made as Gonobhaban was vandalized by protesters following Sheikh Hasina's departure.[6]
