National security adviser Khalilur Rahman on Sunday said that he remained prepared to exercise his rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent.
鈥業 remain prepared to exercise my rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent,鈥� he told UNB when his attention was drawn to a recent allegation by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party leader Salahuddin Ahmed that Khalilur is a foreign citizen.
The security adviser said that the burden of proof of the allegation rested on the individual who made it and, if necessary, it would have to be proven before a court of law.
BNP standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed on Saturday claimed that the national security adviser was a foreign citizen.
鈥楬as the government lost all sense?鈥� he questioned.
鈥楬ow can the Bangladesh army submit security-related reports to a foreign citizen? He wants to turn Bangladesh into a battlefield under the pretext of a humanitarian corridor for the Rohingyas. This national security adviser must be removed,鈥� he added.
