Desk Report,
I have no intention of resigning on my own, but I will leave if the employer asks me to: Education Advisor
Students protested on Tuesday over the suspension of the HSC-equivalent exams after a fighter jet crashed at the Milestone School and College campus in Diyabari, Uttara, in the capital, alleging ‘unprofessionalism’. They demanded the resignation of Education Advisor Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar (CR Abrar). However, the Education Advisor said that he does not think that there has been any disruption in his work. Therefore, he has no intention of resigning on his own. However, he has an employer. If they think that there has been any disruption here, then if you tell him to leave (resign), he will definitely leave.

The Education Advisor said these things in response to a question while talking to reporters at the Secretariat on Wednesday afternoon. Before talking to reporters, he met with Energy Advisor Muhammad Fauzul Kabir Khan. The fighter jet crashed last Monday. The death toll in the incident has so far risen to 32. The number of injured is at least 165.
The government announced a one-day state mourning for Tuesday on Monday afternoon. In this tragic situation, students of some colleges were demanding the postponement of Tuesday’s HSC-equivalent examination. Finally, the government announced the postponement of the examination at 2:45 am on Monday. Many expressed anger over this. A large number of students protested inside and outside the secretariat yesterday, demanding the resignation of the education advisor and the secretary of the secondary and higher education department. During the protest, the government announced the dismissal of senior secretary of the secondary and higher education department, Siddiq Jobayer.
Today, journalists asked the education advisor about the demand for his and the secretary’s resignation. In response, he said that the secretary has been dismissed. It was the decision of a higher committee. He was not involved in that decision.
The education advisor said, “I have been asked (to resign). I have no intention of doing it on my own. Because, I don’t think there has been any disruption in my work here. I have informed you of my absolute position… “I have an employer. If they think there was a mistake here, then if they ask me to leave, I will definitely leave. There is nothing to regret or justify myself here.”
