Bangladesh interim government’s information adviser and one of the key leaders of the students’ movement, Nahid Islam, on Tuesday resigned from the cabinet, ahead of the launch of a new political party by the July uprising activists.

“Given the current situation in the country, the rise of a new political force is necessary. I have resigned from the advisory council to remain on the streets to consolidate the mass uprising,” Islam said after submitting his resignation letter to Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.

One of the key coordinators of the July uprising that toppled the Awami League regime, Nahid said his role on the street appeared more important than staying in government.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
