A legal notice has been served to Bitika Binte Hossain, a reserved women’s seat Member of Parliament from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), by Asif Mahmud, spokesperson for the National Citizens Party (NCP). The notice centers around allegations that Hossain demanded a 3 crore taka (approximately $280,000 USD) bribe. Mahmud requests that Hossain provide evidence supporting her denial of the claims within seven days. Alternatively, he demands a public apology and unconditional retraction of the alleged extortion attempt. The notice was publicized by Mahmud on Facebook Thursday night, August 6th. Details of the allegations remain limited, but the situation could escalate political tensions. This legal challenge comes as Bangladesh prepares for upcoming elections.
