Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has sparked debate by suggesting that mental health checks be made mandatory for anyone assuming the role of Bangladesh’s head of government.

In a Facebook post, Farooki shared his reaction after rewatching the documentary “Pilkhana: Thirty-Six Hours of Betrayal.” He expressed horror at former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s conversations during the 2009 BDR mutiny, accusing her of betrayal by failing to send aid to trapped officers.

“This raises the question—was her pathological hatred toward the army at play?” Farooki wrote. “Seeing this, I believe any future head of government must undergo mental health screening.”

The interim government released the documentary on Monday, reigniting debate over the Pilkhana massacre.
