A qualified person will be nominated to replace President Mohammed Shahabuddin within two days, Hasnat Abdullah, a key coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, told protesters near Bangabhaban yesterday (22 October).

Addressing the protesters, Hasnat Abdullah around 11:30pm said, "We pledge that within this week, by Wednesday and Thursday, talking to all the political parties and our army chief, we will pick a replacement for the president, someone about whom there will be no controversies and who will be accepted by all, like there is no disagreement over Prof Yunus."

The student leader further said, "Those among the army and policemen who were agents of dictatorship have not returned to work. The neighbouring country wants to show the world that civil war has started here between the people and law enforcers. None of us will fall into this trap."
