Two female BNP leaders — Shirin Sultana and Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papiya — have resigned from their respective posts in the newly formed BNP executive committee.
Shirin quit the post of self-reliance affairs secretary and Papiya that of human rights affairs assistant secretary. 
Papiya also quit the position of general secretary at the party’s Chapainawabganj district unit. 
Contacted, Shirin said she sent her resignation letter to the part’s Chairperson Khaleda Zia and Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday.
Also Mohila Dal general secretary, she said that she resigned from the executive committee as the party constitution has approved ‘one leader one post policy’. 
“I want to hold the post of Mohila Dal general secretary showing respect to the party constitution.”
Dhaka University’s Rokeya Hall ex-VP, Shirin is the wife of BNP joint secretary general Khairul Kabir Khokan.
Papiya, a former BNP MP and wife of BNP’s another joint secretary general Harun-or-Rashid, admitted that she resigned from the party’s executive committee and the post of Chapainawabganj district committee general secretary.
She, however, declined to elaborate about this.
After the announcement of the BNP’s new committee, different media reported that Papiya got aggrieved as she felt she was not given the post she deserves.

Hours after the announcement of the party committees, newly made party vice chairman Mosaddek Ali Falu and assistant publicity affairs secretary Shamimur Rahman Shamim quit their respective posts.
Later, new executive committee member and ex-Magura MP Quazi Salimul Haq Kamal, popularly known as Econo Kamal, also resigned from his post protesting against what he said accommodating controversial leaders in the party’s standing and executive committees.
BNP Rangpur district unit BNP vice and ex-MP Paritosh Chakrabarti also quit the party out of frustration as he was not made party executive committee member.
