He said the removal of the photograph, which commemorates the historic surrender of Pakistani forces in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on December 16, 1971, “is not only troubling but is a direct affront to the historical memory of this monumental event.” According to a PTI report, he urged the central government to "immediately" restore the photograph to its original position.
