The government has revoked the appointment of  Mohammad Khorshed Alam Khastagir as the country's next Ambassador to Poland,  citing his controversial involvement during the student-led mass protests in  July and August this year. Foreign ministry's Public Diplomacy wing director general Toufique Hasan  confirmed the decision to Mass Media on Sunday (evening). Khastagir, a career diplomat, will remain in his current role as Minister  (Political) and Deputy High Commissioner at the Bangladesh High Commission in  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he has served since October 2020, he said.  On September 25, the government had announced Khastagir's appointment as  Bangladesh's Ambassador to Poland. However, his alleged role during the  recent unrest has led to the cancellation of that appointment. Khastagir joined the Bangladesh Foreign Service in 2001 as part of the 20th  batch of the BCS (Foreign Affairs) cadre.  His diplomatic career includes key postings, such as First Secretary at  Bangladesh's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York (2008-2010)  and Charge d'Affaires at the Bangladesh Embassy in Muscat, Oman (2011-2014).  He also served as Director and later Director General of the Europe and EU  Wing and International Organisations Wing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  (2015-2019).
