Political life
Fazal-ur-Rehman started his political life as a student leader. He was the president and general secretary of Bangladesh Chhatra League.[5] Then he joined the party Bangladesh Awami League. He joined the BNP in 1979 and became a member of the Union Parishad in the 1980 elections of Ziaur Rahman. After the 1982 coup, he joined Jatiya Party (Ershad) and was elected to the parliament from Kishoreganj-3 as a Jatiya Party candidate in 1986.[6]
Later he joined BNP in 1988 and became the president of the Kishoreganj District unit of Bangladesh Nationalist Party as well as Union Council Chairman from 1992 onwards.[7] However, in 26 August 2025, he was suspended from all party posts for 3 months.[8]
Controversy
July Revolution
Following the July Revolution, he stated in various forums that the collapse of the government was orchestrated by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its affiliated organisations. He argued that the events were not an ordinary political development but a premeditated conspiracy, describing Jamaat as the "dark force" behind it.[9][10][11]
International Crimes Tribunal
In December 2024, he was accused of contempt of court over remarks concerning the International Crimes Tribunal. Following an unconditional apology submitted to the tribunal, he was discharged from the charges.[12][13][14]
