Mursalin quits NCP over 'ideological differences'

Khan Muhammad Mursalin, joint chief coordinator of the National Citizen Party (NCP), resigned from the party on Thursday, citing ideological differences and disillusionment over its political direction, reports UNB.

Mursalin announced the decision in a Facebook post in the afternoon, saying he had stepped down from all posts and responsibilities of the NCP with immediate effect.

"I am Khan Muhammad Mursalin. After serving as the central joint chief coordinator of the National Citizen Party, I have decided to resign from all positions and responsibilities of the NCP from today," he wrote.

He, however, made it clear that he is not quitting politics. "I am resigning from the NCP, not from politics. We will meet again on the streets". Mursalin said the NCP has failed to fulfil the aspirations of students and the masses.
