Mohibul questions certain foreign envoys’ role on Rohingya issue
Deputy Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury on Monday questioned the role of certain foreign envoys over Rohingya issue.
Mohibul, son of veteran Awami League leader late ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, also said media reports certain comments by certain foreign missions' heads in Bangladesh violating Vienna Convention.
"Do they say or do anything about Myanmar’s genocide and expulsion of Rohingya?" he tweeted in oblique reference to certain remarks made by the Japanese ambassador in Dhaka on Monday. He, however, did not name anyone.
"Will Japan stop investing there (Myanmar)? Double standards?" the Deputy Education Minister mentioned.
"No mutual respect - no mutual trust," he also said.
Speaking at a programme titled "Meet the Ambassador", moderated by journalist Zillur Rahman, Japanese Ambassador Ito Naoki commented on a number of issues including Rohingya repatriation and Bangladesh's next election, reports UNB.
