Meanwhile, on the same day, the coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, Hasnat Abdullah, demanded the resignation of President Mohammed Sahabuddin by Thursday during a rally held at the Central Shaheed Minar.
Another coordinator, Abdul Hannan Masud, echoed the same demand at the rally.
The rally at the Shaheed Minar was organized by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement to demand President Mohammed Sahabuddin's resignation, following his controversial remarks about the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
During the rally, one of the leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement said: “Your time is up. The students and the people no longer want to see you as President. Either you resign, or the students and the public will surround Bangabhaban, forcing you to flee like Hasina. All accomplices of the autocrats must be removed from every place. The Chhatra League must be banned."
