Shafiqur Rahman, leader of Bangladesh’s Jamaat-e-Islami and opposition in parliament, sharply criticised President Mohammed Shahabuddin for “withholding facts” about the turmoil on August 5, 2024, when then-PM Sheikh Hasina fled and her resignation’s authenticity became disputed. Rahman questioned inconsistencies in the President’s statements on the resignation and accused him of misleading the public. The attack follows Shahabuddin’s allegations that the Muhammad Yunus-led interim regime tried to unseat him and restricted his movement and communications — claims that have intensified debate over political power struggles and alleged ties between Yunus’s administration and Islamist groups.
