Photos of two Awami League leaders—Vice Presidents Babu Swapan Roy and Golam Mohiuddin—participating in a Bengali New Year rally organized by the administration of Khetlal Upazila, Joypurhat, have gone viral on Facebook. The presence of political figures in a government-organized event has sparked widespread criticism. The rally was attended by the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Asif Al Zinath, Assistant Commissioner (Land) Zinath Ara, Agriculture Officer Zahidul Islam, OC Dipendranath Singh, and other government officials.
