Bangladesh Orders Removal of President's Portraits from Foreign Missions

The government of Bangladesh is telling its embassies around the world to take down the current president's picture.

This directive appears to be connected to actions against the previous prime minister, as the current government is changing the previous government's policies.

Some people believe the government is removing the portraits to erase the previous prime minister's legacy.

There's also controversy over how the government is treating people who are loyal to the previous leader, with accusations of unfair actions.
