All my children live in country, adviser responds to safe exit claims

Regarding claims about advisers seeking a safe exit, Adviser to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, said: “All my children live in the country. What would I do going abroad alone?”

He made the remarks on Sunday (October 12) while responding to journalists after a meeting of the Core Committee on Law and Order at the Secretariat.

When asked about claims that advisers are seeking a safe exit, he said, “What someone wants is their personal matter.” In reply to a direct question on whether he himself wanted a safe exit, he replied, “All my children are in the country. What would I do going abroad alone?”

Earlier, in a television interview, National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam claimed that many advisers had already established liaisons with different political parties and are considering their own safe exit. His remarks sparked wide discussion and criticism on social media, particularly Facebook.

Advisers also responded to the matter. In a Facebook post on October 9, Adviser to the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges, Fouzul Kabir Khan, wrote: “At over seventy-two years of age, if I have to think about a safe exit, it would be a matter of deep sorrow for me.”
