Shamokal editor Golam Sarwar resigns

"I resigned as the editor of the Shamokal on January 21 for strictly personal reasons," he said in a press statement.

Sarwar was the founding editor of the daily that started its publication in May 2005. He joined the daily after leaving the post of editor of the daily Jugantor in August 2004.

Sources in the daily Shamokal said Sarwar resigned following disagreements with Publisher AK Azad and some colleagues.

Mozammel Hossain Monju, deputy editor of the Shamokal, has taken over as the acting editor, the sources added.
