Dhaka, May 23, 2025 : Salahuddin Ahmed, a member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) Standing Committee, has stated that the BNP does not want the resignation of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the interim government. However, he remarked that if Dr. Yunus resigns due to emotional reasons, the nation will choose a new alternative.
Speaking to Kalabela on Friday (May 23), Salahuddin Ahmed emphasized that the BNP is not seeking Dr. Yunus’s resignation but rather a clear electoral roadmap. He criticized the government for delaying progress by focusing on reforms instead of providing a definitive election timeline. “If Dr. Yunus resigns for any emotional reason, the nation will find a new alternative,” he said, adding that the BNP wants Dr. Yunus to remain in office with dignity and lead the country out of the current crisis by presenting an electoral roadmap.
Salahuddin further stated that Dr. Yunus’s resignation would not create a vacuum, as the nation is capable of finding alternatives. He stressed that an electoral roadmap is the only solution to the ongoing crisis. He also noted that reforms, judicial processes, and elections can proceed simultaneously, asserting that reforms could be completed within one and a half to two months. However, he expressed concern that no visible progress has been made toward organizing elections, accusing the interim government of attempting to prolong the process.
The BNP leader revealed that the party has been trying to meet the Chief Adviser since May 19 but has been unsuccessful. He alleged that certain individuals within the government, including “Awami collaborators” and ambitious figures, view the BNP as an adversary.
Responding to a claim by National Citizens Party (NCP) leader Sarjis Alam, who suggested that Dr. Yunus considered resigning due to pressure from BNP’s movements, Salahuddin clarified that the BNP has not campaigned for Dr. Yunus’s resignation. He explained that public protests in Dhaka were driven by the delay in administering the oath to Ishraque, the elected mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation, despite a court ruling in his favor. “Why did the people of Dhaka South have to take to the streets?” he questioned, dismissing attempts to misinterpret the issue.
