Disaster Management and Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya has skipped the regular cabinet meeting for the third time on Monday. Cabinet Secretary Mushharraf Hossain Bhuiyan confirmed the Dhaka Tribune about Maya's absence in the meeting. He said: “Maya did not join today's meeting. He has informed the cabinet that he is going abroad and therefore would not be able to attend the meeting.” This is the third time that the minister has skipped the regular cabinet meeting. Conspicuously, it happened days after the allegations arose about his family members being involved in the sensational abduction and murder of seven persons in Narayanganj. The minister, however, shrugged off all such allegations.
