When asked about his resignation, Rashedul Islam said, "I have sent the resignation letter to the center. I do not know if it has been accepted yet. However, I am still with NCP. I want the best for NCP. I resigned purely for personal reasons."
His resignation comes amid growing tensions within the district committee.
According to several party leaders, disagreements and distance between the district and metropolitan units have persisted since the formation of the coordination committee on 18 June.
To address the internal conflict, Central Committee Joint Convener Monira Sharmin arrived in Rajshahi yesterday (27 June).
"I have already spoken with everyone. I am trying to resolve the issue. The resignation of the district chief coordinator is still under consideration," she said.
