Bangladesh’s time government has appointed US-based journalist-activist Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey, a polarising figure known for his alleged anti-India approach and decade-long battle against overthrew prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as ambassador to one of its operations worldwide. After spending almost ten years in exile, he returned to Bangladesh on September 12.
Ansarey’s appointment was confirmed by the Bangladesh ministry of public leadership on Monday. He previously raised questions in March when he mentioned former deputy secretary Arvind Kejriwal’s imprisonment in a press conference with US state department spokesman Matthew Miller.
He has a three-year contract that gives him the privileges and position of a top secretary. Sources said the international affairs ministry would shortly announce his posting amid speculation about which nation he may be sent to.
Ansarey’s visit came as a result of the interim administration’s decision to revoke the ministers ‘ contract terms with the US, Russia, and UAE. According to authorities, the international affairs ministry will shortly announce their repairs.
Some view Ansarey’s election as a reward for Muhammad Yunus ‘ decade-long baiting of the then-awami League leadership under Sheikh Hasina’s leadership. From 2001 to 2006, he served as Khaleda Zia’s associate press secretary.
Ansarey now serves as executive director of the Washington-based foreign policy newspaper South Asia Perspectives. He is also the director and White House correspondent for JustNewsBD, covering the UN, the US position division, and the Pentagon.
