BNP leader and Dhaka South mayor-elect Ishraque Hossain has demanded that three "non-neutral and dangerous" advisers of the interim government must resign immediately or sign a bond that they will not contest in the next election.

"It's non-negotiable," he wrote in a post on his verified Facebook page today (24 May).

Ishraque, however, did not reveal the names of the three advisers.

He also wrote, "National security adviser must be questioned to extract more information about any potential threat to our beloved motherland, Bangladesh."

Earlier, on 21 May, Ishraque called on interim government advisers Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan and Mahfuj Alam to step down from all their responsibilities.

In a Facebook post from his verified account, Ishraque wrote, "In the spirit of democratic values and political decorum, I urge advisers Asif Mahmud and Mahfuj Alam to resign from all responsibilities of the interim government on justifiable grounds."
