Rashed Khan, Secretary General of the GOP, dismissed rumors about Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s resignation. He clarified that Dr. Yunus had simply warned NCP leaders to be restrained, or he would reconsider his position. Rashed alleged that this warning was twisted into resignation rumors to divert attention from public demands for NCP leaders to step down. He also criticized some NCP figures for trying to reform the Awami League rather than seeking justice for state atrocities. Rashed stressed that the GOP stands firmly against Yunus’s resignation and would not allow him to step down before completing his term, although he did call for a restructuring of Yunus’s advisory team.
