Bangladeshi Lawmaker Resigns After Demolition of Long-Standing Healthcare Centre
Bangladeshi lawmaker Ferdousy Ahmed Mishti resigned following allegations linking her to the demolition of the Radda MCH-FP Centre, a non-profit healthcare facility serving low-income communities for over 50 years. The clinic in Mirpur was destroyed in a midnight attack by masked individuals who replaced its signboard with a banner from a local shop owners' cooperative. Mishti, a BNP member and former joint convener of the dissolved Dhaka North unit, denied involvement despite her name appearing in an intelligence report. Limited healthcare services have resumed amid concerns over ongoing vandalism and violence.
