Bangladeshi student group calls for president to resign
POLITICAL tension in Bangladesh grew again today after a leading student group called for the country’s president to resign over comments he made that appeared to call into question former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation in August.
The interim government was expected to hold a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue on Thursday.
The student group, known as the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, set a two-day deadline for President Mohammed Shahabuddin to step down.
