Apurba Jahangir, the deputy press secretary for the chief adviser, stated today that adviser Mahfuj Alam’s recent Facebook post was his “personal opinion” and that he made it plain in his follow-up post.
“It is entirely his (Mahfuj) personal opinion. He shared another post from his Facebook account where he made things clear,” he told a press briefing here, responding to a question about the recent Facebook post which drew reactions from India.
According to Apurba, adviser Mahfuj Alam removed his Facebook post, saying that the government did not agree with what Mahfuj posted from his verified Facebook account.
In response to a query during a weekly briefing on December 20, Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, stated that they have discussed this with the government of Bangladesh.
Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary for the chief adviser, attended the press conference this afternoon at the Foreign Service Academy.
