Education Adviser CR Abrar on Wednesday said there was no deviation in the activities of the Education Ministry in taking decisions following the jet crash into Milestone School and College in Uttara, and he has no intention of resigning on his own.
“I have no intention to resign on my own. I don’t believe there was any lapse in my duties. Even then, if it is considered that there was deviation, I will leave if asked. There is nothing for me to cling to or justify myself,” Abrar told reporters at the Secretariat in response to a question, UNB reports.
On Tuesday, students staged demonstrations in front of the Bangladesh Secretariat and they later forcefully entered its premises demanding the resignation of the education adviser and secretary.
The Education Secretary has already been removed.
Asked about the government’s stance on the demand for his resignation, Abrar said, “That’s for the government to decide. I am trying to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to me.”
When questioned whether he should remain in his position after such mismanagement in suspending the exam, he responded, “It seems you are already delivering the verdict. There hasn’t been any mismanagement. That’s what I’ve been trying to explain.”
