Advisers intend to join politics should quit after polls schedule: Asif Mahmud
Replying to another question, he said it is still pending whether he will contest elections or join the National Citizen Party (NCP).
Local Government Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan today (14 August) said that those advisers who intend to join politics after the announcement of the election schedule should resign.
"None of us, including me and the advisers who wish to engage in politics in the future, should be part of the electioneering government. Otherwise, the election will be questioned," he said while talking to journalists at the Secretariat.
Asked if he would resign, Adviser Asif said no decision has been made yet, and the final decision will come from the government in this regard.
