The walls seemed to be closing in on President Mohammed Shahabuddin as calls for his resignation grew louder yesterday.

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has issued an ultimatum to the government to fulfil their five demands, including removal of President Mohammed Shahabuddin and the scrapping of the 1972 constitution, within this week.

The interim government agrees with Law Adviser Asif Nazrul’s statement that the president “lied” regarding former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation letter, which was “akin” to misconduct.

Speculations and debate ran rife yesterday over President Mohammed Shahabuddin’s remarks on Sheikh Hasina’s resignation letter and Law Adviser Asif Nazrul’s public dressing-down of the president.

"I tried [to collect the resignation letter] many times but failed. Maybe she did not get the time," President Mohammed Shahabuddin said.

Bangladesh should be watchful of a possible counter-revolution, which might not be very soft.
