I have not seen the Himalayas. But I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, this man is the Himalayas

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was a great statesman who fought for the rights and dignity of his people and was steadfastly committed to independence

Yasser Arafat,

The speciality of Mujib's character was his uncompromising fighting leadership with a generous heart 

Harold Wilson,

to a Bengali journalist upon hearing the news of the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

This is surely a supreme national tragedy for you. For me, it is a personal tragedy of immense dimensions

Lakshman Kadirgamar,
Former Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka 

In the last few centuries, South Asia has given the world many teachers, philosophers, skilled statesmen, political leaders and warriors. But Sheikh Mujibur Rahman surpasses everything; his place is fixed in the highest position

Sonia Gandhi, 
Former President of the Indian National Congress

I pay respect to a visionary leader and statesman, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He fought for freedom with unflinching courage despite the odds and adverse conditions

Ramesh Chandra,
Former Secretary General of the World Peace Council

Sheikh Mujib is a man of peace, a man of independence and a man of the world. He is not just the Bangabandhu (Friend of Bangladesh), He is also the Viswabandhu (Friend of the World)

John F. Kerry, 
Former US Secretary of State

What a tragedy to have such brilliant and courageous leadership stolen from the people of Bangladesh in such a moment of violence and cowardice. But today, Bangladesh is growing in the vision of Bangabandhu

Pranab Mukherjee,
Former President of India

Sheikh Mujib was a pioneer who fought for establishing people's rights and dignity in one of the most profound struggles for liberation in the twentieth century. The title of Bangabandhu bestowed on him reflects the extraordinary love that this patriot had for the people of his country
