Dhaka, May 18 -- National Security Adviser Dr Khalilur Rahman on Sunday said he remains prepared to exercise his rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent.

"I remain prepared to exercise my rights as a Bangladeshi citizen to the fullest extent," the National Security Adviser told UNB when his attention was drawn to a recent allegation by BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed that Dr Rahman is a foreign citizen.
