Ferdousi Ahmed Mishti.
BNP reserved women's seat MP Ferdousi Ahmed Mishti has resigned from her parliamentary post. She submitted her resignation letter to Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed at the National Parliament building at noon on Thursday (October 1).
In the resignation letter, Mishti wrote, "I, Fiedousi Ahmed, have been serving as a member of parliament (reserved women's seat) of the 13th National Parliament. I have decided, with full consciousness and voluntarily, to resign from the post of member of the National Parliament (reserved women's seat-23). Therefore, may it please you to accept my resignation letter and take the necessary measures to make the resignation effective."
Multiple sources at BNP's top level told Agamir Somoy that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman had ordered Mishti on Wednesday to resign from the MP post over allegations of involvement in the attack, looting, and vandalism at Radda MCH-FP Health Center in Mirpur in the capital. In light of that, she resigned today, Thursday.
On September 25 past midnight, more than two hundred people attacked Radda Health Center, which has been providing healthcare to poor mothers and children for nearly five decades. They took the security guards hostage, entered the health center, and looted medicines, medical equipment, and various items. Later, a permanent structure and three semi-permanent structures of the health center were demolished with heavy machinery. After that, a signboard of Samamona Dokandar Samabay Samiti Limited was hung there.
The incident occurred while the Prime Minister was in New York. After returning home and learning about the matter, he inquired in detail about the incident and expressed extreme anger. At the same time, he ordered action against those involved in the attack and also directed that it be investigated whether any leader or activist of the party at any level was involved in the incident.
Sources claim the party has information about Mishti's involvement behind the attack on Radda Health Center. In light of this, she was ordered to resign from the parliamentary post.
However, Misti has denied allegations of her involvement in the attack. She said that although her name is associated with the society, she has no involvement in the vandalism. She wants the police to investigate according to the law.
