Urging the protesting students to remain patient, Information and ICT Adviser Nahid Islam on Wednesday said whether President Mohammed Shahabuddin will remain in office or not is a political decision, not a constitutional one. 

"This interim government has been formed with the support of the people. We formed the government while retaining the existing constitution and the President at that time for the sake of stability and security of the state," Nahid said while speaking to journalists at his Secretariat office.

He also urged protesters, who demand the president's resignation, to remain patient.

"However, if we feel that this setup hinders the interim government's activities or the people are dissatisfied with it, we will consider and reevaluate the matter," he added.

Adviser Nahid, also a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Students' Movement, said, "At this moment, whether the President will remain in office is not a legal or constitutional question in Bangladesh. It is purely a political decision. Hence, a decision can be reached based on political consensus and national unity.

"Discussions are ongoing on behalf of the interim government. We are discussing this with various stakeholders, and a decision might come from these discussions," he said, assuring that a rational decision would be made after holding discussions with all concerned.
