At least 50 leaders and activists of the Awami League from various levels in Muksudpur upazila of Gopalganj have resigned from the party.
The resignations were announced on Tuesday evening through separate press conferences held by Awami League leaders of Maharajpur, Bhabrashur and Banshbaria unions of the upazila, though the development came to light on Wednesday afternoon.
In a written statement, the resigning leaders said they were stepping down from all posts and organisational responsibilities of the Awami League.
“We are announcing our resignation from all positions and titles of the Awami League. From now on, we have no relation with the Awami League and will not have any in the future,” the statement said.
