Two Pohela Boishakh motifs at Dhaka University set on fire, Cultural Advisor blames 'Hasina’s cohorts'

Dhaka, Apr 12 (UNI) Two motifs for Bangladesh’s upcoming 'Pohela Boishakh' or Bengali New Year celebrations prepared by Dhaka University's Fine Arts faculty were set on fire. The country’s Cultural Affairs Advisor Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has blamed ex-PM Sheikh Hasina’s “cohorts” for the incident.
Calling the incident an attack on unity and expression, he wrote on his Facebook page: "Hasina's cohorts burned the motifs of fascism at Charukala in the early hours of yesterday. Those who showed this audacity – be it soft Awami League or Awami B team – each of them must be brought under the law, quickly,” as per Business Standard BD.
Among the burnt motifs was a humanoid shape depicting fascism's face which was completely burnt, and another was a pigeon - symbolic of peace – that was partially burnt.
