William B Milam, an influential figure of the Democratic Party and paid agent of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) runs an organization named ‘Right to Freedom’ jointly with an individual named Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey. Ansarey was one of the key figures in Tarique Rahman’s infamous Hawa BhabanI and has worked as the Assistant Press Secretary to then Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey, who is known for his affiliations with jihadist groups has been making frantic bids with the direct collaboration of William B Milam in pushing the United Nations as well as the US Department of State in unseating Awami League government through undemocratic process. Earlier the duo pursued the United Nations as well as the US Department of State in bringing more politicians and civil-military officials from Bangladesh under fresher sanctions using Global Magnitsky Act.
Ansarey has been working as the “Permanent Correspondent” of an illegal website named ‘Just News’, with active collaboration of William Bryant Milam (William B Milam), an American diplomat, who is known as the Senior Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC., has been making desperate bids both in the Capitol in Washington DC and the UN Headquarters in New York City, with the agenda of misleading key policymakers in Washington and the UN against Bangladesh and ruling Awami League and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. It may be mentioned here that ‘Just News’ does not have any existence in Bangladesh.
Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey and William B Milam are under monthly payroll of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and several family members of war criminals. According to a credible source, Ansarey spends thousands of dollars every week in socializing with key individuals in the US, while he also is seen having lunch and dinner with those individuals, where most of the times he is accompanied by William B Milam.
Although Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey succeeded in getting press accreditation in the White House and the United Nations claiming as the “US Correspondent” of an illegal website, a vernacular tabloid daily in Dhaka has also been terming Ansarey as its “Permanent Reporter in the United Nations” and the White House. This vernacular tabloid has also been prominently publishing anti-Awami League propaganda materials sent by Ansarey on a regular basis.
It may be mentioned here that, on October 27, 2020, at the persuasions of William B Milam and Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey, ten US Senators sent a letter to then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin calling for sanctions against RAB officials. In the United Kingdom, the Guernica 37 Chambers law offices made a formal submission to the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in August 2021 recommending sanctions for 15 current and former senior RAB officers. On August 31, 2021, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission held a virtual hearing on enforced disappearances in Bangladesh where several witnesses suggested taking punitive action. Bangladesh Foreign Ministry was not appraised of the case of letters sent by the US Senators, as it was later alleged that the Bangladesh High Commissioner is Washington DC was actually a former leader of BNP’s student wing.
An aide to an US Senator told this correspondent that William B Milam and Mushfiqul Fazal Ansarey are currently pursing more than a dozen of US Congressmen and Senators with the request of putting their influence on Biden administration in forcing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in handing over power to an unelected “caretaker government” prior to holding of the next general election. The source further said, William B Milam has provided names of the possible members of his proposed caretaker government, which they want to be headed by Professor Muhammad Yunus.
It may be mentioned here that, although to most of the people in Washington DC, William Bryant Milam an American diplomat is known as the Senior Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, in reality, Milam is affiliated with radical Islamic jihadist groups as well as notorious Jamaat-e-Islami.
On November 5, 1999, during his stay in Pakistan, William B Milam wrote a paper titled ‘Islam and America, which was presented to the American Studies Conference, where he has blindly praised Pakistan and even radical Islam. Later this controversial paper has disappeared from the website.
