Dhaka, July 22, 2025: Siddique Zobayer, Senior Secretary of the Secondary and Higher Education Division of the Ministry of Education, has been withdrawn from his position. The announcement was made by Mahfuz Alam, Advisor to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.
In his post, Mahfuz Alam stated, "The Senior Secretary of the Education Ministry, Siddique Zobayer, has been withdrawn." He further mentioned that a committee will soon be formed to thoroughly investigate the Milestone tragedy. The investigation committee will be constituted in coordination with the six-point demands of the students. He emphasized that the government is committed to addressing any legitimate demands.
Earlier in the day, students began protesting in front of the main gate of the Secretariat in Dhaka, demanding the resignation of both the Education Advisor and the Education Secretary. As a result, all entry points to the Secretariat were closed, leading to a complete halt of vehicular movement on the roads in front of the Secretariat.
Around 3:45 PM, agitating students demanding the resignation of the Education Advisor and Secretary entered the Secretariat premises. Law enforcement agencies attempted to stop them, leading to a chase and counter-chase between the two sides.
