Jamaat-e-Islami has appointed Dr. Ifftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, a former adviser to the caretaker government, as its consultant. The appointment became public after he attended a meeting in Dhaka with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Paul Kapur, where he was present as part of the Jamaat delegation. The meeting and subsequent media coverage sparked widespread discussion on social media regarding his role and affiliation with the party.
According to Jamaat sources, Chowdhury was appointed due to his interest and diplomatic experience. Party assistant secretaries general Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan and Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair confirmed that he is serving as Jamaat’s foreign affairs consultant. Chowdhury previously served as Bangladesh’s permanent representative to the United Nations and later as foreign affairs adviser in the Fakhruddin Ahmed-led caretaker government.
The appointment has drawn renewed attention to Chowdhury’s controversial past and his politically diverse family background, prompting debate within Bangladesh’s political and diplomatic circles.
