Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder has clarified that the interim government has been discouraging the use of official portraits since its inception under an unwritten “zero portrait” policy. However, he stressed that no government office or mission has received any written instruction to remove the president’s photographs. “Still, some individuals took it upon themselves to display such portraits. The idea that written orders were issued to remove them is incorrect,” he wrote. Majumder criticized political overreaction: “Now that elections are approaching and political maneuvering is narrowing, even trivial issues are being inflated into mountains to stir controversy.”
