Online Desk  :   There are rumors that student demonstrators, who ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, are forming a new party. News agency Reuters published news about this. But their statement given to Reuters was presented wrongly, said Mahfuz Abdullah, the coordinator of the Liaison Committee set up to assist the interim government, on Friday night in a Facebook post.

“My statement has been misquoted in the Reuters report. Bangladeshi media have published a poor or ‘intentional’ translation of the statement,” said Mahfuj, who has been named as Mahfuj Alam by Reuters. Nahid Islam, the coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement, also said that no decision has been taken on forming a new political party. When the reporter of Reuters repeatedly asked about the two-party structure and whether to form a political party to get rid of it, he said: “I said, we are not a party or an individual, we want to reform the system.”
