Aminul Islam has resigned from his position as advisor to the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) administrator following intense public backlash. His appointment stirred widespread criticism, particularly on social media, due to questions surrounding his citizenship status and past appeals for the role. A 2022 Home Ministry order showing his renunciation of Bangladeshi citizenship for Estonian nationality went viral, fueling further controversy. Although officials denied any political influence in his appointment, the pressure mounted rapidly. DNCC had earlier clarified that the position was unpaid and made under the administrator’s legal authority. Facing growing disapproval and online uproar, Dr. Aminul stepped down, bringing the short-lived appointment to an end.
