Former MP and cricketer Shakib Al Hasan posted a birthday greeting for former leader Hussain on Sunday. In response, Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud wrote that critics had hurled thousands of abuses at him for opposing a rehabilitation — “But I was right. End of discussion,” he added.
Shakib replied and wrote that someone had effectively admitted they prevented him from wearing the Bangladesh jersey again, and that he might return to his homeland someday, signing off “Love Bangladesh.” In the comments, Sarjis Alam attacked Shakib, saying: “Greedy like you who sell yourself for money — the Bangladesh jersey bought with pig’s blood will never be worn on Bangladeshi soil again.” DUCSU VP Abu Sadiq Kayem further called Hussain and his associates “murderers and genocidal,” and criticized attempts to rehabilitate or normalize those accused of mass crimes under various professional labels. He vowed the July generation will not rest until fascist structures are destroyed.
