Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam wrote in a personal reflection that some of the harshest criticism he now faces comes from members of an older political group—many of whom were once his allies during Sheikh Hasina’s regime. “For 15 years, I was labeled many things by the Awami League and its supporters. But now, a new group calls me a traitor due to my recent press remarks,” he said. “Still, I am here, cherishing each moment granted by Allah. If I get the time and live long enough, I may write about these turbulent times. If not, I’ll have no regrets.”
