Overview

  • The Contracts and Foreign Appointment Wing issued the order on 15–16 January, naming Omar Bin Hadi second secretary at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Birmingham.
  • The notification, signed by Joint Secretary Abul Hayat Md Rafiq by order of the President, states the tenure will run three years from the date of joining.
  • The contract requires him to cut all other professional ties, with remaining terms to be set by the agreement.
  • Dhaka reporting says no sanctioned second secretary post existed in Birmingham, while a foreign ministry diplomat said routing through public administration can create such posts.
  • The move follows the December killing of student leader Osman Hadi, which spurred protests and anti-India actions, and it has drawn claims of politically charged optics from critics.
