Govt failed to replace 'Awami League's president' in 5 months: Nahid

National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener and Dhaka-11 MP Nahid Islam today said a government that failed to replace "Awami League's president" in five months could not be expected to bring meaningful change to the country.

"The president should not only resign, but also be arrested after stepping down. The people want to see a qualified, guardian-like individual as the country's president," he said.
