BNP Acting Chairperson Tarique Rahman is not a citizen of Bangladesh as he has no passport, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said on Thursday.
“If Tarique stays in Bangladesh, there will be no controversy about his citizenship. As he is not in the country and has surrendered his Bangladeshi passport in the UK, I think, he is not a citizen of the country,” he said.
“If he has any passport, let him produce it to the media,” he said while talking to reporters in his office yesterday.
While replying to a question regarding Narayanganj seven murder case, he said the government has decided to move an appeal against the High Court (HC) verdict after receiving its full judgment.
The HC will release the full copy of the judgement soon, the Attorney General informed the journalists.
The HC on August 22 last year awarded death sentence to 15 convicts and life imprisonment to the 11 convicts.
