Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis leader Maulana Mamunul Haq has publicly reframed a 2021 incident involving his confinement with a woman in a hotel room as a symbol of victory. The incident occurred at the Royal Resort in Narayanganj, specifically in room number 501. Haq characterized the event not as a scandal, but as evidence of defeat for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her allies, whom he labeled “fascist.” He presented a lengthy explanation of the events, attempting to recast the narrative. The incident previously drew significant public attention and scrutiny. Haq’s statement aims to counter negative perceptions and position the event as a political triumph for his movement. He frames any discussion of the incident as originating from opposition forces.
