Tapashee Tabassum Urmi, an executive magistrate in the Lalmonirhat district administration, has been transferred as an officer on special duty (OSD) to the Ministry of Public Administration following a post on Facebook.
The ministry confirmed her transfer through a notification signed by Senior Assistant Secretary Nilufa Yasmin on Sunday evening.
Lalmonirhat Deputy Commissioner HM Raqib Haider also confirmed the transfer, saying: "I am aware of the matter, but I have not yet received the ministry's formal instructions."
Tapashee claimed her transfer was a result of a Facebook post she had made about Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus.
On Saturday, Tapashee wrote on Facebook: "The chief adviser of the constitutionally baseless interim government has said a reset button has been pushed. The past is erased. He deleted all the past history of the country by clicking a reset button. So simple. The countdown has begun for you, sir."
When asked about the post, Tapashee said: "I shared the post on Facebook, which should be enough to explain. I had set it to 'only me' on Facebook, so the transfer could be due to various reasons. If I lose my job because of it, I will be fine with that. But what does pressing the reset button to delete the past mean? I believe forces against the Liberation War are present in the form of governance in our country. The July massacre and other events require investigation, as they are not yet proven facts."
DC Raqib said the issue has come to the administration’s attention and that action is being taken. "We are aware of this and are acting on the information we have."
