Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) today said that the comments made by Major General ALM Fazlur Rahman (retd) on his personal social media account do not reflect the position or policies of the Government of Bangladesh.

“Government of Bangladesh wishes to clarify that the recent remarks made by Major General ALM Fazlur Rahman (retd) on his personal social media account were expressed solely in a personal capacity,” said a MoFA statement.

“The comments do not reflect the position or policies of the Government of Bangladesh and as such the Government neither endorses nor shares such rhetoric in any form or manner,” said the statement.

“The government urged all concerned to refrain from associating the Bangladesh Government to the personal comments made by Major General (Retired) ALM Fazlur Rahman,” it said.

Bangladesh remained firmly committed to the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence of all nations, said the release.
