Dhaka, Dec 11 (NationPress) A youth-driven anti-corruption movement has urged the disclosure of assets belonging to two advisors of Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus: Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan and Mahfuj Alam, who resigned from their positions on Wednesday.

This initiative, launched by the group 'Anti-Graft Students and People', was highlighted during a human chain demonstration outside the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) headquarters in Dhaka, as reported by the United News of Bangladesh (UNB). The activists also called for the release of records related to corruption from the ministries where the advisors served over the last 17 months.

Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan, the Youth and Sports Advisor, and Information Advisor Mahfuj Alam submitted their resignation on Wednesday. The Chief Advisor's Press Secretary, Shafiqul Alam, confirmed that their resignations would take effect upon the announcement of the election schedule by the Election Commission.

During the protest, speakers voiced concerns about corruption allegations against the personal aides of both advisors, claiming that the ACC has yet to take action. They argued that due to corruption, the advisors have lost their moral right to stand in upcoming elections and urged the Election Commission to disqualify them.

Additionally, on the same day, various officials and staff members at the Bangladesh Secretariat confined Finance Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed in his office, demanding overdue allowances, according to local media reports.

Witnesses reported that a group of employees gathered at the advisor’s office on the fourth floor, led by Badiul Kabir, a leader of the Bangladesh Secretariat Officers and Employees Combined Council, who stated that they would not leave until an official gazette announcing their benefits is issued.
