The Facebook post, claiming Mahfuj Alam, special assistant to the chief adviser, as a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, is not true, according to the chief adviser鈥檚 press wing.
The post carried a screenshot of an article, published by the English daily The Business Standard, which referred to Abdullah Al Mahfuz, as an alleged member of Hizb ut-Tahrir.
鈥楾he accused Abdullah Al Mahfuz and special assistant Mahfuj Alam are two different persons,鈥� said the CA鈥檚 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鈥檚 dictatorship.
He said in a post that he was never a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir or any other outlawed or Islamist groups.
