Recently, President Mohammed Shahabuddin gave a special interview where he claimed that he does not have proof of the ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation.

At a rally the same day, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement staged a protest rally with a five-point demand including termination of the constitution, removal of president Mohammed Shahabuddin and banning the Chhatra League as a terrorist organization.
