DHAKA: Bangladesh is "considering" a proposal to remove portraits of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from both public and private establishments, local media has reported.
The latest move, announced by the National Consensus Commission (NCC) formed under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, adds to the series of attempts to erase symbols linked to the 1971 Liberation War.
Reports suggest that a letter signed by the commission's Vice-Chairman, Ali Riaz, was sent to political parties on October 9, seeking their written opinion by Saturday.
