Pakistan's Jinnah photo stirs anger in Bangladesh
AFP reported objections in Bangladesh to an image of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but the brief dispatch gave no location or names.
A photograph of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah has stirred anger in Bangladesh, according to a report by AFP carried by the Bangkok Post.
The report's headline and standfirst were the only retrievable parts of the story, so no details were available on where the photograph appeared, when it was displayed, who objected, or how the anger was expressed.
The Bangkok Post item was filed on 22 September 2026 and credited to AFP. It provided no quotes from Pakistani or Bangladeshi officials.
Jinnah was Pakistan's first governor-general and is known as Quaid-i-Azam. Bangladesh was East Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, when it became independent after a war; Jinnah's legacy remains contested there.
Skardu Times could not confirm the incident independently. There was no immediate comment from either government in the available material.
