According to netizens, the photo connects to the generation that fought the Liberation War to the one that fought for democracy from military rule to the present responsible for the country's amazing economic turnaround.
"Happy New Year from the Padma Bridge. Joy Bangla! Joy Bangabandhu!," Joy wrote while sharing the photo.
One Netizen wrote: "Once written off as a basket case by the former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, Bangladesh took a big step forward in embarking on its biggest-ever infrastructure project alone."
This photo, showing the two sisters walking the Padma Bridge smiling, also sent a powerful message – despite the World Bank's backing off, Bangladesh has completed its biggest infrastructure with its own resources.
