The BNP has expressed anger at the mere transfer of Mohamed Mijarul Quayes as Bangladesh's Ambassador to Brazil from the UK amid allegations of ‘abuse of power’ and demanded he be recalled.

Party Vice-Chairman Shamser Mobin Chowdhury expressed its reaction on Monday, a day after the foreign ministry announced the transfer.
Amid a cloud of charges including 'failure to deliver', Quayes has been removed from the London post for the much lesser role in Brazil.
Chowdhury, a former foreign secretary, told reporters that questions arose over 'mere transfer' of Quayes.
“Given these allegations, the government should have summoned him and taken proper actions after fair investigation.”
Quayes, also a former foreign secretary, was appointed High Commissioner to the UK barely two years ago.
According to a recent report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Quayes is facing several audit objections for ‘misuse of powers and irregularities’.
