Bangladesh's cabinet ministers on Monday Nov 11,2013 tendered their resignations to
pave the way for an all-party government to oversee general elections,
with the BNP-led opposition adamant on the demand for a neutral
non-party government amid a violent political standoff
All the 52 ministers and state ministers completed submitting their resignation today to pave the way for reconstitution of an all-party interim cabinet to oversee the next parliamentary polls -Cabinet Secretary Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan told
"The ministers and state ministers present on Monday (regular) cabinet meeting have submitted their resignation letters to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina," Prime Minister's press secretary Abul Kalam Azad told
The development came as a nationwide 84-hour general strike enforced by BNP and its rightwing allies including fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami entered its second day
The BNP-led alliance called the first 60-hour shutdown from October 27 and second one from November 4 to press for the restoration of the neutral caretaker government system to oversee the polls scheduled to be held by January 25, 2014.
