Director general of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) Liaquat Ali Lucky has resigned from his position on Monday (August 12).
Salahuddin Ahmed, secretary of the Shilpakala Academy, said Lucky submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs via WhatsApp.
Appointed on April 7, 2011, Lucky's tenure was extended seven times, with the latest extension in March of 2023, which made him the longest-serving Director General in the institution's history.
Meanwhile, Secretary to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs Khalil Ahmed acknowledged that the resignation letter was submitted to the ministry.
Following the recent Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the fall of Sheikh Hasina government, several heads of public organisations have resigned from their long-held positions.
