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."
