A school principal in Feni’s Sonagazi upazila has been served a show-cause notice after posting a Facebook status mocking BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman. The head of Al-Helal Academy, Omar Faruk, reportedly deleted the post after facing backlash. The Al-Helal Society, which oversees the institution, confirmed that disciplinary action is being considered against him.

The Sonagazi municipal BNP issued a press release demanding Faruk’s removal and exemplary punishment, alleging political bias and misuse of his position. Local BNP leaders claimed that Faruk, previously linked to the Awami League, used his influence to secure his current post and accumulate wealth through school-related activities. The controversy has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with BNP-affiliated groups calling for accountability.

The incident underscores the growing political sensitivity surrounding social media expression in Bangladesh’s education sector. Authorities are expected to decide on disciplinary measures soon, as the case continues to draw attention from both political and community circles.
