Education and Cultural Affairs Adviser Dr Ayub Quadri yesterday resigned from his post in the wake of widespread criticism over the missing of two 1,500-year-old terracotta statues of Hindu god Vishnu from Zia International Airport on Saturday.
Quadri wrote his resignation letter addressing the President Prof Iajuddin Ahmed and sent it to the Cabinet Division in the afternoon.
“I have resigned from my post on personal grounds,” Quadri told The New Nation last night over telephone.
Earlier, the resignation letter was handed over to the Cabinet Division at 4:30pm.
