Who is seeking a safe exit? Rizwana Hasan pushes Nahid to reveal

NN ONLINE:

Environment, Forest and Climate Change Affairs Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan today stated that she has never fled the country during any crisis and has no plans to do so in the future.

“I have faced many storms in my life but never ran away. I will stay in the country,” she told reporters at the Secretariat this afternoon (Oct 8).

Her remarks respond to recent comments by National Citizen Party (NCP) Convenor Nahid Islam, who claimed that some advisers are maintaining links with political parties and seeking a “safe exit.”

Rizwana Hasan responded, “It is Nahid Islam who should clarify who wants a safe exit.”

The adviser reiterated that the current interim government remains committed to ensuring a transparent election. “This government wants a fair election and will extend full support to the Election Commission,” she added.

She also noted that participation in the election by any political party would depend on both legal and political considerations.

Earlier, in a television interview, Nahid Islam alleged that several members of the interim government’s advisory council are prioritizing their own safety over public service, raising questions about their loyalties during the student-led uprising.
