BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed has called for a thorough investigation into whether any advisor of the interim government is linked to the Gulshan extortion case. “The matter must be clarified before the public,” he said, warning that a lack of investigation would raise further questions about the advisors. He also urged political parties to avoid making misleading statements ahead of the upcoming national election, adding, “Those who attempt to sabotage or boycott the election will be eliminated from national politics.” The controversy stems from the arrest of former BAGSAS joint convener Jane Alam Apu, whose alleged confessional statement claims a late-night meeting with Advisor Asif Mahmud in front of a Gulshan hotel.
