This is a statement from K M Asad regarding the misunderstanding about one of my photographs published in “The Economist.” @theeconomist In this photograph, we can see the general public taking over the former prime minister’s office and raising the national flag of Bangladesh. When I arrived, I took multiple photographs, entered the office, came out, took some images-there were many things happening simultaneously. During that time, so much was happening so quickly. People raised other flags too, as you can see in other photographs (which are widely shared with the claim) of the same place, where the Palestinian and communist flags are clearly visible. However, I was not there at that specific moment. I was taking photographs of other places. I can assure you that when I was on the spot, no one was there with those two flags hanging and “The Economist” did not photoshop the image. They did not erase those two flags; they published the image as it is. The photograph they published is the exact one I provided, capturing the scene as I saw it. #bangladesh
