The Bangladeshi government has approved a new peace award named after the country's founding father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, which will be launched in 2025. This award will be given every two years and will consist of a $100,000 prize and a gold medal. It aims to recognize individuals, organizations, or institutions from anywhere in the world for their contributions to peacebuilding. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is skeptical of the exit poll numbers and expects his party to perform well due to the support of the INDIA bloc.
