Will remain more active out on the streets, says Nahid after resignation

After resigning from his role as an adviser in the interim government, Nahid Islam announced plans to shift his focus from government corridors to grassroots activism. 

Speaking to reporters outside the state guesthouse Jamuna, he confirmed his resignation, saying, “I’ll be more active on the streets than in the government—I want to work directly with the people.”

The move comes ahead of a significant political development: Nahid is set to lead a new political party launching on February 28, formed by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the National Citizens Committee. 

His resignation aligns with this transition, marking a return to his roots as a prominent figure in the anti-quota movement, where he served as a key spokesperson for the student-led campaign.
