Dhaka University has opened an inquiry into the display of Muhammad Ali Jinnah's photographs at its museum after student protests. The row has reopened wider arguments in Bangladesh over language, liberation history and political memory.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's photographs have been replaced by images of Pakistan founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah at Dhaka University's DUCSU Museum, triggering protests, a student-led removal of the Jinnah portraits and a university probe into how the controversial display came about.
