A heated debate has erupted on Facebook over the identity of the ‘mastermind’ behind the student-people uprising, with three key figures being discussed. The controversy now includes Sajeeb Wazed Joy’s name, further fueled by Sohel Taj’s post on his verified page.
The controversy began after Dr. Muhammad Yunus introduced his special assistant, Mahfuz Alam, as the ‘mastermind’ behind the uprising during an event in New York. Following this, the term ‘mastermind’ sparked widespread discussion. On Saturday, BNP Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu claimed that Tarique Rahman was the sole mastermind, stating that he orchestrated all the necessary actions for an effective movement.
In response, Sohel Taj posted on Facebook, writing, “Today, I read in the newspaper that BNP leader Shamsuzzaman Dudu claimed Tarique Rahman is the ‘mastermind’ of the student-people uprising. Meanwhile, Jamaat’s Amir Shafiqul Rahman said that the credit belongs to the students and the people, not any political party. Earlier, the chief advisor claimed that Mahfuz was the ‘mastermind’ behind the movement.”
Taj added, “It wouldn’t be surprising if, in a few days, we hear that the real ‘mastermind’ was Sajeeb Wazed Joy.”
He further reminded readers, “We all remember how poor Prince Charles had to wait for years to become king.”
His post has garnered numerous sarcastic comments. Among them, Barrister Khondker Hasan Shahriar remarked, “You are the real mastermind. That’s why you’ve been saying whatever comes to mind in front of the media.”
A user named Abdur Rahim Khan Babu commented, “There’s a diplomatic way to criticize someone, but in your attempt to discredit Sajeeb Wazed Joy, you’ve only exposed your deep insecurities.”
Faruk Ahmed wrote, “Pabna isn’t too far. You need treatment. Your body is swollen, and your brain is drained. The mental hospital is your only hope now.”
Another commenter, Arifa Rahman Ruma, expressed sympathy, saying, “I feel sorry for Bongataz. I know several members of your family personally. I don’t understand why they aren’t ensuring you receive proper treatment.”
The debate continues to generate significant attention and mixed reactions on social media.
