General Masud withdrawn from MoFA

The government has withdrawn lieutenant general Masududdin Chowdhury from the foreign ministry.

A public administration ministry statement on Wednesday said General Masud, a former coordinator of military-controlled caretaker government's anti-corruption drive, was withdrawn to the Armed Forces Division.

In the same order, Anti-Corruption Commission director general Colonel Hanif Iqbal was also withdrawn.

Gen Masud was attached to the foreign ministry from the National Defence College on June 8, 2008.

Six days earlier on June 2, he was sent to the NDC from the Armed Forces Division where he had been its principal staff officer.

General Masud was in-charge of the 9th Infantry Division in Savar when a state of emergency was declared across the country on Jan 11, 2007.

He was appointed high commissioner to Australia on Sept 3, 2008.
