Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami candidate and the party’s medical division amir, Dr SM Khaleduzzaman, criticised State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Nurul Haque Nur in a Facebook post on Wednesday afternoon. The report says Khaleduzzaman issued the remarks while commenting on Nur’s role in the ministry.

In the post, Khaleduzzaman wrote that Nurul Haque Nur should return to the “bikashprotha” of the past. He described the Expatriates’ Welfare Ministry as important, saying the fate of millions of expatriates and the country’s economic wheel depend on it.

Khaleduzzaman further said that having an inexperienced state minister in charge of such a ministry was a cruel irony for expatriates’ fate. The source does not include any response from Nurul Haque Nur or information about any subsequent action related to the Facebook post.
