All advisers as foreign citizens: Rumeen Farhana

Staff Reporter

BNP Executive Committee member and Assistant Secretary for International Affairs, Barrister Rumeen Farhana, has criticised the interim government, saying that all of its advisers hold foreign citizenship. “What more can I say about a safe exit? Every one of the advisers is a foreign citizen,” she remarked while addressing a BNP rally at Talshahar AAI High School ground at Ashuganj in Brahmanbaria on Friday evening.

The rally was organised to mobilise support for implementing BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s 31-point reform agenda.

Rumeen said, “If unrest breaks out in the country, these advisers can simply leave for abroad — but you and I cannot. None of us have visas ready for any country. I urge the government: do not engage in any wrongdoing, corruption, or false promises that might force you to seek a safe exit. Work with transparency, honesty, and patriotism so that you never need one.”

Local BNP leaders and activists from the upazila and union levels were present at the gathering.
