The government is investigating reports of flags bearing Arabic script being displayed in various districts, Information and Broadcasting Adviser Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman said on Tuesday. He made the remarks during a regular press briefing at the Department of Information in response to a journalist’s question about who was putting up such flags and whether the government was aware of the matter.

Dr. Rahman stated that the government is examining why the flags are being displayed and acknowledged that such activities could send misleading messages in some cases. He added that necessary steps are being initiated and that he has personally drawn the attention of the Home Affairs Adviser to the issue. He also noted that while many people are discussing the matter on social media, those commenting are not necessarily involved.

The adviser further said that since the incident appears to be widespread, the government is also investigating whether there is any specific plan behind it.
