Cumilla-4 Member of Parliament Hasnat Abdullah posted a Facebook status on Saturday afternoon referring to an old statement by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. The post was made after 4 p.m. and discussed remarks Rahman made on November 29 about his longing for his mother’s affection and the limited control he had over decisions regarding his return to the country.

Hasnat’s post questioned whether those who influenced Rahman’s return on December 25, despite internal party disagreements, also had any role in decisions such as the repeal of the enforced disappearance and human rights ordinance. He further raised the issue of whether Rahman’s governance might similarly be influenced by others.

The article also mentioned other political updates, including statements of condolence from party leaders following a fire incident in Keraniganj and a scheduled meeting of the BNP Standing Committee.
