Hossain avoided giving any answer but left the view exchange fuming and without answering. "Your son-in-law claims to be an independent journalist but don't you see any conflict of interest over Bergman's writings in favour of war criminals as those elements belonged to Jamaat-e-Islami and leaders from that very party took part in last national election under your leadership," asked journalists. He was then asked about Bergman's consistent support to anti-liberation elements beginning with his opposition to the war crimes' trials. Hossain was asked questions when he was participating in a Jahangirnagar University programme on the 50th anniversary of the country's first constitution organised by its politics and government Department. He also sidestepped questions about his son-in-law, a known controversial activist Bergman's consistent role in support of self-confessed and convicted war criminals and ceaseless smears against current Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her family members through offshore outlets.


The Bangladesh Opposition leader, his daughter Sara Hossain and his son-in-law and Pakistan paid war criminal's shed David Bergman are embroiled in a wave of fresh controversy as the 80-year-old politician apparently failed to hold back his anger in the face of questions from local journalists over his reported concealment of substantial income from legal services. Bangladesh netizens questioned "Are Kamal and his daughter above the law"? as Hossain avoided questions on his alleged concealment of income with a harsh tone.
