National Security Adviser Dr Khalilur Rahman on Sunday said he remains prepared to exercise his rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent. "I remain prepared to exercise my rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent," the National Security Adviser told UNB when his attention was drawn to a recent allegation by BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed that Dr Rahman is a foreign citizen. Dr Rahman also said the burden of proof of the allegation rests on the individual who made it and, if necessary, it would have to be proven before a court of law. Khalilur Rahman appointed as High Representative to Chief Adviser BNP standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed on Saturday claimed that the National Security Adviser is a foreign citizen. “Has the government lost all sense?” he questioned. “How can the Bangladesh Army submit security-related reports to a foreign citizen? He wants to turn Bangladesh into a battlefield under the pretext of a humanitarian corridor for the Rohingyas. This national security adviser must be removed.”
