Prime Minister’s Political Assistant Rashed Khan has commented that the betrayal of Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam will be found in every layer of the July mass uprising.
He wrote this in a post on his verified Facebook account.
In the post, he wrote: “The opportunity for the coordinators to call Hasnat Abdullah ‘Hasina’s Abdullah’ began after 17 July, when Rifat Rashid wrote a letter of protest against the barbaric attack on female students and ordinary students at the Dhaka University VC’s premises (organised for the absentee funeral prayers of six martyrs including Abu Sayeed and Wasim Akram) and the subsequent programme, and assigned Hasnat Abdullah the responsibility of checking it.”
Rashed Khan wrote: “On the advice of DGFI, Hasnat Abdullah added at the end of that protest letter the line ‘the door to dialogue remains open’. He even posted it on Facebook again without discussing it with any of the coordinators. This led to widespread debate among the coordinators. At one point, Hasnat Abdullah admitted that he had added this line on DGFI’s advice.”
He wrote: “Moreover, after the High Court verdict on the quota issue on 10 July, Hasnat-Sarjis, sitting with the then Assistant Proctor of Dhaka University and Professor of the Department of Islamic History and Culture, Dr. Md. Abdur Rahim Sir, wrote a press note on DGFI’s instructions to announce a suspension of the movement after giving a 3-day ultimatum. But after Hasnat-Sarjis appeared at Shahbagh, the other coordinators did not agree, so these two July traitors did not have the courage to announce the suspension of the movement.”
The leader wrote: “In this way, Hasnat-Sarjis’s betrayal will be found in every layer of the July mass uprising… Meeting Awami League ministers on 19 July by trampling on the martyrs’ blood, or after Nahid-Asif were disappeared, roaming around in DGFI vehicles and drinking juice while sitting at Pukurpar in DB custody—that ‘Hasina’s Abdullah’, when he abuses Salahuddin Ahmed (who was disappeared for 61 days and remained in exile for a long time) merely by addressing him as ‘Salahuddin’ and saying ‘BNP will try Salahuddin in a few days’, then one has to say that they can nurture this resentment towards a leader who was disappeared by Sheikh Hasina out of anger over the July mass uprising and the fall of Sheikh Hasina.”
