Dhaka-6 lawmaker Ishraque Hossain yesterday resigned from his position as the State Minister for the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs.
At a press conference at the National Press Club yesterday, Ishraque said he chose to step down voluntar-ily to avoid putting the Prime Minister or the BNP in an uncomfortable position.
Ishraque said he spoke to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and expressed his will to resign from the post of State Minister for Liberation War Affairs.
Despite stepping down from his ministerial portfolio, he reaffirmed his intent to continue his anti-drug drives as a BNP activist.
