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."
