Actor and television host Shahriar Nazim Joy wrote a letter to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, requesting a plot in Purbachal in 2014. In his letter, he referred to Sheikh Hasina as her almost outstanding leader and exemplary mother of the subcontinent. Recently, an image of this letter surfaced on social media, sparking widespread criticism.
Joy acknowledged the letter and defended himself through a post on his verified Facebook account. The post read, "I wasn't involved with the Alo Ashbei group nor caught up in the YouTubers' schemes. But that doesn't mean you won't target me. However, that letter from 2014 has been circulated about 14 times."
"Many individuals have obtained land from the former government, with those plots classified under Section 13. This Interim government has already announced the cancellation of these plots. Even after that, the letter is being posted on Facebook, making my number viral and harassing me socially," he added.
The actor continued, "Of course, the letter was a form of flattery, and I deserve to be shamed for that. But don’t be too harsh. Remember, Allah won't forgive you either. We all know that Allah exists and sins are punished in their due time, right? Stay calm and avoid spreading hate. Let's support each other and correct our mistakes together."
Joy is now under fire for his behaviour and has been criticised for asking controversial questions on his shows.
