The editorial
Source: Times Of India · 25 Oct 2024Bangladesh's interim government has appointed US-based journalist-activist Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey, a polarising figure known for his alleged anti-India stance and decade-long campaign against deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as ambassador to one of its missions abroad. He returned to Bangladesh on September 12 after nearly a decade in exile.
The Bangladesh ministry of public administration issued a notification on Monday confirming the appointment of Ansarey, who raised eyebrows last March when he referred to former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest during a press briefing with US state department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
