Fifty leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in Sirajganj have resigned in protest against the newly announced district committee, calling it illegal, undemocratic, and non-transparent. The resignations were announced at a press conference held at the Sirajganj Press Club on Sunday. The dissenting leaders accused the central committee of unilaterally forming a 'pocket committee' without dissolving the previous legitimate convening body. They alleged that controversial individuals with records of extortion, unethical behavior, and drug involvement were included in the new committee. The leaders also claimed that the decision was made secretly without following any democratic process, violating the organization’s core principles. The central committee had approved a 204-member convening committee on Friday night, but the announcement sparked widespread criticism on social media, followed by a wave of resignations within 24 hours. The protesting leaders demanded the cancellation of the new committee and the formation of a transparent and democratic body through proper consultation.
