Bangladesh govt insists no change to national anthem

There are no plans to change Bangladesh's national anthem, "Amar Sonar Bangla" amid recent claims by a former military officer that India imposed the national anthem written by Rabindranath Tagore during the 1971 independence. Religious Affairs Adviser AFM Khalid Hossain reassured the public that the Muhammad Yunus-led administration would not engage in any actions that would fuel unnecessary 'controversy'.
