Ishraque vows to stay on streets until two advisers resign

BNP leader Ishraque Hossain has announced that the ongoing protest will continue until LGRD Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain and Information Adviser Mahfuj Alam resign from their posts.

Ishraque made the announcement shortly after the verdict on his oath-taking ceremony on Thursday noon (May 22).

He said, “We must not be deceived by these hollow tactics. The fight continues until the resignation of the two student representative advisers is confirmed. Do not leave the streets — we need to expand our protest further.”

Earlier, the High Court rejected the writ petition that sought a stay on BNP leader Ishraque Hossain from taking the oath as the mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC). Now there is no legal bar for Ishraque Hossain to take oath as mayor.
