Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reportedly directed diplomats to remove President Mohammed Shahabuddin’s portraits from all embassies, consulates, and diplomatic residences abroad. Unlike standard practice, the order was not issued through formal letters or emails but communicated via telephone to select ambassadors, who were then asked to inform other missions. While some diplomats confirmed receiving the directive, others said they had not yet been officially notified. One diplomat revealed that instructions were relayed indirectly through another nearby mission.
