The protest continued against Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president Kazi Mohammad Salahuddin and BFF women's wing chairperson Mahfuza Akter Kiron as the present and former woman footballers on Saturday also demanded the resignation of Salahuddin-Kiron.
A group of 20-25 woman footballers, led by national sports awardee and organizer Kamrun Nahar Dana, gathered at BFF house at Arambagh chanting slogan and a single point demand for the resignation of Salahuddin-Kiron.
The former footballers and organizers have been demanding the resignation of Salahuddin for a long time. Their demand became stronger soon after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government in the face of vigorous protests from the students-people on August 5 last.
The Football Supporters Association wants the resignation of BFF president Kazi Salauhddin, its senior vice-president Abdus Salam Murshedy and member Mahfuza Akhtar Kiron.
Among these three BFF officials, only Salam Murshedy has resigned from his post of BFF.
Salahuddin has already made it clear that he will not resign from his post and will be the candidate in the next BFF election.
It's easy to imagine that Salahuddin's loyalist Kiron will also follow Salahuddin's footprint. In such a situation, the women footballers gathered at BFF house to know their demand. —BSS
