Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and opposition leader Dr Shafiqur Rahman has sharply criticized President Md Sahabuddin over his recent interview remarks, calling the conduct from the highest office of the state unacceptable.
Dr Shafiqur made the comments in a post on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon, questioning the president's account of the events surrounding the political transition on August 5, 2024.
The Jamaat chief accused the president of withholding key facts about the events of that day, particularly regarding the resignation of the former prime minister.
“The president has withheld many facts regarding August 5, 2024,” Shafiqur wrote.
“What he told the leaders present that day regarding the alleged resignation of the [ousted] prime minister, and what he later conveyed to the nation, is not reflected in his current remarks. What he is saying now is not what he said that day,” the Jamaat ameer wrote.
“Will the president reconcile what millions of people heard that day with what he said then and what he is saying now?” he asked.
He added that the public remained fully aware of the developments surrounding the political transition.
“The nation is not naive. Such conduct from the highest office of the state is unacceptable,” Shafiqur said.
