Mahbubul Alam Hanif, joint general secretary of ruling Bangladesh Awami League, left Dhaka for Canada early Friday.

The lawmaker reportedly, as a transit passenger, left the country in a flight of Qatar Airways.

According to his personal secretary, Tarikul Islam, Hanif went to visit his family and relatives who are permanent residents of Canada.

The member of the parliament could not meet his family due to political engagement and coronavirus outbreak, Tarikul said adding that Hanif would return to the country soon.

He, however, could not confirm the time.
