A video containing statements from Bangladesh Gono Odhikar Parishad leader Nurul Haque Nur's top aide Tarek Rahman threatening to “arm the Rohingyas” is doing the rounds on social media and drawing flak.
“We will train them and arm them” is what Tarek is heard saying.
Two gruesome killings in Rohingya camps just days after the video containing threats from Tarek surfaced led netizens to question if his threat is an instigation, with many calling for an investigation.
Two Rohingya community leaders were recently killed inside camps.
Tarek has recently become vocal on social media in defence of his leader Nur amid a sedition complaint filed against him over “holding a secret meeting with an individual named Mendi N Safadi, apparently an agent of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).” “It seems that Nur has been involved in a conspiracy to unseat the elected government in Bangladesh,” the complaint reads.
