# Chitra Katha photo poster No. 38: Friendship of the Muslim states (Bengali photo poster distributed in Dacca)

A Bengali photo sheet on Pakistan's third Republic Day, 23 March, as marked at Karachi and Lahore with parades and a cultural programme. Photographs show Turkish, Iranian and Iraqi military delegations being received, a Turkish military band, sabre dancers, and honour guards. The captions present the three countries' attendance as shown friendship among Baghdad Pact members. The tell is bandwagon and card-stacking: allied delegations and ceremony stand for alliance strength.
