Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Sunday said objections have been raised regarding the picture of the flags of Bangladesh and Pakistan together on the Facebook page of the Pakistan Embassy.

“However, I believe that there is no bad motive behind it. Still, I have asked the embassy to remove it soon,” he said at a press conference organized on “DH Foreign Minister Conference” at the Ministry.

Earlier on Saturday evening, the foreign minister said: "Pakistan High Commission says that they make such pictures by combining their country's flag and the flag of other countries. They have also used flags of Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka etc.”

When asked about the violation of Bangladesh's flag policy, Momen said: "As we have objections against it, they will definitely withdraw the photo."
