DHAKA: The Bangladeshi hosts of cricket’s World Twenty20 threatened to ban local supporters Tuesday from stadiums if they are seen carrying the flags of any of the other teams competing in the tournament.
The order came after an outcry over images of locals waving Pakistani flags during the recently concluded Asia Cup, also held in Bangladesh.
A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) spokesman said the board had issued a directive after it “noticed that some local fans were flying foreign flags flouting the country’s flag rulesâ€.
“We’ve received instruction in this regard,†the spokesman told AFP, without clarifying.
“As such we've ordered security officials and guards to make sure Bangladesh fans cannot carry or fly flags of foreign nations in the stadiums.â€
Bangladesh was part of Pakistan before the 1971 war.
The BCB order came on the eve of Bangladesh’s 44th Independence Day celebrations, marking the day when the nation went to war against Pakistan.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

If they have any issues with Pakistan, then just ban the Pak flags. Why ban all the non-Bong flags?
This is crazy and retarded.

Muslim states/countries seem to have a very narrow minded view of their religion/nationality .... resulting in a very slim portrayal to the rest of the world ...
It's their way ... unfortunately !!!

“Nationalism is an infantile thing. It is the measles of mankind.†― Albert Einstein (attributed, not sure if he actually said that - but this quote is bang on)
I mean does it really matter if people fly Pakistani flags or Pakistani undies? Jesus Christ, it's just a piece of cloth. Deal with it, instead of forcing people into nationalistic nonsense.
