The resignation of ruling Awami League lawmaker Tanjim Ahmed from parliament was not ‘accepted‘ as the letter was not properly submitted, Speaker Abdul Hamid said on Wednesday.
"The resignation letter has not been accepted since it did not properly follow the Constitution and Rules of Procedure," the Speaker told reporters at a press conference at the parliament building.
Tanjim Ahmad Sohel Taj, son of the country's first prime minister Tajuddin Ahmad, resigned as lawmaker on April 23 and declared that he would no longer be involved in active politics.
On May 31, 2009, he stepped down as state minister for home following what he told his close aides was a row with a cousin of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The resignation of this young politician, who was elected from Gazipur-4 constituency in 2001 and 2008 national polls, came as a shock to Awami League leaders and workers and ordinary people.
In his resignation letter to Speaker Abdul Hamid, Sohel Taj said, “My constituency is 197, Gazipur-4 (Kapasia). I submit my resignation letter to you under section 67 (2) of the Constitution of People's Republic of Bangladesh.”
In an open letter to his constituents as well as the countrymen, he said, “I have resigned from the posts of MP and state minister on justified grounds.”
