BNP leader and Dhaka South mayor-elect Ishraque Hossain has demanded the immediate resignation of three “non-neutral and dangerous” advisers to the interim government, or that they sign a pledge stating they will not contest in the next election.
“It’s non-negotiable,” he wrote in a recent post on his verified Facebook page.
However, Ishraque did not disclose the names of the three advisers in question.
He also stated, “The National Security Adviser must be questioned to uncover any potential threats to our beloved motherland, Bangladesh.”
Earlier, on 21 May, Ishraque had called on interim government advisers Asif Mahmud, Shojib Bhuiyan, and Mahfuj Alam to step down from all their responsibilities.
In a Facebook post from his verified account, Ishraque wrote:
“In the spirit of democratic values and political decorum, I urge advisers Asif Mahmud and Mahfuj Alam to resign from all responsibilities within the interim government on justifiable grounds.”
