Former State Minister for Home Affairs Sohel Taj has alleged that the ongoing incidents of fire terror and cocktail explosions in Bangladesh are being orchestrated by a single mastermind. In a Facebook post made late Sunday night, he referred to two books by freedom fighter Matiur Rahman Rentu, suggesting that they reveal much about the current situation. Taj accused certain political actors of committing atrocities, corruption, and money laundering, claiming they are now creating chaos to derail the upcoming elections and destroy the country's democratic future. He expressed surprise that some within the Awami League still support these individuals, implying they were beneficiaries of past misdeeds. Sohel Taj, who served as a state minister in 2009 before resigning in 2012, has remained outside active politics since then.
