State Minister for Liberation War Affairs Ishraque Hossain has said he will make a final announcement regarding his resignation from the post at the National Press Club at 2pm on Monday and face journalists there.
He said, “I will make the final announcement of my resignation as state minister for Liberation War Affairs and face journalists at the National Press Club at 2pm today, Inshallah.”
He disclosed this in a post on his verified Facebook page in the morning.
In the post, Ishraque said he had seen some “self-proclaimed enlightened people” expressing ecstasy in their Facebook posts.
“I hope that if the need for any movement or struggle arises in the future, they will be inspired by nationalist ideals, return home from abroad and join that movement,” he said.
He said he would now work against drugs with a hundred times more enthusiasm, not as a member of parliament or state minister, but as a BNP activist.
“The cleanliness campaign will be further intensified,” he said.
Ishraque also said he would be able to visit different districts to strengthen the organisational capacity of the Jatiyatabadi Prajonmo Dal across the country, reports UNB.
“Not minister, but drug eradication! Drug eradication, drug eradication!” he added.
