President urges to avoid controversy over Hasina's resignation

Another group named Raktim July 24, which advocates for the welfare of families affected by recent mass uprising, organised a separate sit-in with the some injured victims, expressing solidarity with the demand for the President’s removal.

On Monday, Hasnat Abdullah, a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, shared a poster on Facebook late Monday night announcing the mass gathering programme after the President’s remarks on ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation letter.

In a recent interview with Matiur Rahman Chowdhury, editor of The Daily Manab Zamin, President Mohammed Shahabuddin mentioned that he heard Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position as Prime Minister; however, he has no documentary evidence to confirm this, including any resignation letter.

He stated, "I have failed to obtain the resignation letter despite numerous attempts. Perhaps she did not get the time."

This conversation was published in the newspaper's political magazine, “Janatar Chokh,” on Sunday.

Sheikh Hasina sought refuge in India on August 5 amid an unprecedented mass uprising.
