Out of love for Argentina and Lionel Messi, painter Hasmat Ali, better known as Tokon, from Pabna has painted the Argentine flag on the bodies of nearly three thousand supporters for free throughout the World Cup. With the final approaching, his busyness is now at its peak.

Hasmat Ali's home is in the Banagram Mahalla of Bera municipality area in Pabna. He is a painter by profession. Painting signboards, banners, and billboards for various individuals and institutions is his job. However, since the start of the World Cup, he has been spending almost all his time painting flags on the faces, hands, and bodies of Argentina supporters.

Several children and teenagers from the Banagram area, including Sohan, Sajib, and Foysal, who came to get flags painted, said they are big fans of Argentina and Messi. They came to share the joy with friends by having the Argentine flag painted on their bodies for the final.

Hasmat Ali said that whenever there is an Argentina match, a crowd of supporters starts gathering at his house from noon. The joy of watching the match on a big screen with the jersey and the flag painted on the body is different. If the team wins, many come to get the flag painted the next day as well.
