Speaking about Sheikh Hasina's resignation cost President Shahabuddin, now the sword is hanging.

Dhaka: Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin's speech regarding the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina became difficult. Now the sword is hanging over him and his resignation is being demanded. Bangladesh's interim government on Thursday said it will decide the fate of President Mohammad Shahabuddin after consultations with political parties. This decision has been taken amid the controversy over the President's statement in which he had raised questions on Sheikh Hasina's resignation from the post of Prime Minister.

According to an adviser to interim government head Muhammad Yunus, the advisory council has decided to discuss with political parties the fate of President Shahabuddin. Bengali-language newspaper Pratham Aalo quoted Sayeda Rezwana Hasan, advisor on environment and climate change, as saying that the council will take decisions based on the consensus of political parties.

What statement did the President give?

The issue of removing the President came up when Shahabuddin told a Bengali newspaper a few days ago that he had not received Hasina's resignation letter. In an interview to Bengali daily 'Manobazamin', Shahabuddin said that he had heard that Hasina had resigned from the post of Prime Minister before leaving Bangladesh, but he had no documentary evidence.

Demand for resignation of President Shahabuddin

The President said that despite several efforts he could not find any document. Shahabuddin said that perhaps he did not have time. Legal experts believe that the President's statement has no special significance amid the current situation after Hasina's ouster from power and the dissolution of Parliament. Hundreds of protesters tried to storm the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday and demanded the resignation of President Shahabuddin for his statements.
