Faridul Haque Khan to become new state minister for religious affairsPreparations are underway at Bangabhaban for the swearing-in ceremony of a new state minister for religious affairs: Faridul Haque Khan. Typically, the presidential palace hosts a brief event when one or two ministers or state ministers take oath. But the arrangements are likely to be further downscaled this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the country. Speculation was rife on social media about the swearing-in of a new state minister on Monday, while news outlets also reported on the matter. Md Faridul Haque Khan Dulal, a ruling Awami League MP from Jamalpur-2 (Islampur), is representing the constituency for the third time.
