NN Online:

The Facebook post claiming Mahfuj Alam, the special assistant to the chief adviser, as a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, is not true, said Chief Adviser’s press wing.

The post carried a screenshot of an article published by the English daily, The Business Standard, which referred to a man, namely Abdullah Al Mahfuz, as an alleged member of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The accused Abdullah Al Mahfuz and Special Assistant Mahfuj Alam are two different persons, said the press wing through its fact-checking Facebook page.

The fact-checking unit of the daily Ajker Patrika cleared the matter in a report also.

Mahfuj Alam has been a key member of the student movement, which led to the mass uprising against Sheikh Hasina’s “dictatorship.”

He has said in a post that he was never a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir or any other outlawed or Islamist groups.
