A dispute has emerged over a letter reportedly sent by opposition leader and Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman to Foreign Minister Dr. Khalilur Rahman, recommending the appointment of his foreign affairs adviser, Professor Mohammad Mahmudul Hasan, to the ministry. Jamaat claims the opposition leader was unaware of the letter, while the Foreign Ministry insists it bears his signature and was written on official parliamentary letterhead. The ministry stated it will publish the letter publicly once the opposition leader provides written consent.
According to a ministry statement issued Wednesday, Dr. Hasan first sent the letter electronically on February 22 and later delivered a printed copy directly to the minister. The letter praised Dr. Hasan’s professionalism and recommended his appointment as an adviser or minister-level official in the Foreign Ministry to strengthen foreign policy coordination. The ministry also denied reports that Jamaat representatives had contacted the minister by phone about the issue.
The ministry emphasized its readiness to release the full text of the letter if the opposition leader confirms his approval in writing.
