‘People believe Hero Alam is more qualified than Farooki as adviser’

A press conference was held by the content creator Ashraful Alam, also known as Hero Alam, regarding the appointment of Mostofa Sarwar Farooki as an adviser to the interim government.

The press conference took place at Hero Alam‍‍`s office in Rampura, Dhaka on Tuesday (November 12).

During the programme, Hero Alam stated, "I have not seen Farooki Bhai (brother) play any role in the student movement, I have never seen him on the ground. I have only seen a few social media posts from him."

He further added, "Now the people believe that I am far more qualified than  Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, because I was on the ground during the movement. The public did not accept Farooki Bhai."

Hero Alam also said, "The families of the students who were martyred could have been given an advisory position, but that did not happen."

Meanwhile, on the evening of November 10, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki took the oath of office as an adviser to the interim government. Later that night, a gazette notification was issued appointing the filmmaker as the Adviser of Cultural Affairs. Farooki has already worked for two days in his office.
