The ongoing discussion on the dual citizenship of President Mohammed Shahabuddin is a very sensitive issue and it falls on the shoulders of authorities concerned to look into it, Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain said on Monday (September 9).

He also said the foreign ministry can get involved in the matter if necessary in the end .

Referring to the recent killings of Bangladeshi minors at the border by the Indian Border Security Forces, the adviser said, “Such killings can have a negative impact on the bilateral relations between the two countries.”

Earlier yesterday, various photos and documents purported to show the president’s dual citizenship status in the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia went viral on social media.

The trove of documents was met with a storm of criticism and discussion.
