Observer Online Report
Deputy Attorney General Shiuly Khanam has resigned from her post, citing personal reasons, adding to a recent wave of departures from the Attorney General’s Office.
Khanam submitted her resignation letter on Saturday (October 17). After receiving it, the Attorney General’s Office forwarded the letter to the solicitor for further action.
Her resignation follows several other departures by government law officers in recent weeks.
On September 21, Deputy Attorney General Belayet Hossain resigned, citing personal reasons. Earlier, on September 9, Deputy Attorney General Sadia Afrin Shapla stepped down.
On September 7, five law officers resigned simultaneously. They were Additional Attorney General Muhammad Abdul Jabbar Bhuiyan, Deputy Attorneys General Sultana Akter Ruby and Mamun Chowdhury, and Assistant Attorneys General Rohani Siddika and Projjal Chakma.
Assistant Attorney General Md Nurul Karim also resigned recently after allegations surfaced regarding his links to Awami League politics. He submitted his resignation letter to the law minister.
In a separate development in June, seven Jamaat-e-Islami-backed deputy attorneys general and 11 assistant attorneys general submitted their resignations en masse in protest against a government decision. Deputy Attorney General Tarikul Islam confirmed the resignations to the media at the time.
The latest departure adds to the series of resignations among law officers serving under the Attorney General’s Office in recent months.
