A controversy erupted in Fatullah of Narayanganj Sadar upazila after newly appointed acting chairman of Boktabali Union Parishad, Pinky Akter, greeted Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) S M Foyez Uddin with flowers. The event, held on Wednesday at the upazila office, included individuals accused in assault and attempted murder cases as well as local Awami League leaders. Photos of the incident spread on social media, sparking public outrage and criticism.

The Boktabali Union chairman post had remained vacant for a long time, causing difficulties in public services. Following media reports, Pinky Akter was recently appointed as acting chairman. However, her participation in this event with controversial figures drew strong reactions. Among those present were charge-sheeted accused Russell Member, Awami League leader Amjad Member, and others.

Local BNP leaders expressed anger, alleging that those involved in past political violence were being rehabilitated. The UNO could not be reached for comment. Grassroots activists urged Narayanganj district and Fatullah BNP leadership to intervene and demanded an investigation and administrative action over the incident.
