Palestinian Ambassador to Bangladesh Yousef SY Ramadan today said Nurul Haque Nur, member secretary of Gono Odhikar Parishad, had three meetings with Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, and is a “threat to Bangladesh’s security and stability.”
“...He will be disturbing the security and stability of Bangladesh as much as doing the same to Palestine,” the envoy said.
“If he wants to challenge me, he needs to challenge the source. Let him challenge if he wants,” the ambassador told UNB.
Ambassador Ramadan said Nur is betraying his country, going against the principle of Bangladesh and its people.
The envoy said he made a statement back in 2015 that any kind of relationship between a Bangladeshi public figure or politician and Israel is considered “political suicide.”
He said if Nur denies this, it’s good enough for him. “I will consider it good enough. But is that good enough for the government of Bangladesh and the security forces of Bangladesh?” — the ambassador posed a question.
The Palestine envoy said it was during the World Cup Football in Qatar when it first came to their attention.
“Our intelligence sources were interested in this. They were able to get some photos when he was meeting with Safadi,” he said, adding that there were other meetings that took place in other countries including in UAE and Qatar.
Earlier, a small group of journalists were talking to him on the Rohingya issue and one of them questioned him about Nur.
The Palestinian ambassador also asked the Bangladesh government to seriously look into the matter.
