Director General of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy Liaquat Ali Lucky has resigned from his post.
He reportedly resigned on Monday.
Cultural Affairs Secretary Khalil Ahmed said: “He has submitted his resignation letter.
When asked why he resigned, he said: “Lucky resigned due to personal reasons and emerging circumstances."
For a long time, the cultural arena was angry about Lucky's position as the director general of the Shilpakala Academy.
On April 7, 2011, Lucky was appointed as the DG of Shilpakala Academy.
His tenure was last extended for the seventh time on March 29, 2023.
A day after Sheikh Hasina's resignation, a disgruntled section of officials and employees locked the room of at least 15 officials, including the director general's office, at the Shilpakala Academy on Tuesday.
Theatre workers called for a protest rally in front of the Shilpakala Academy on Monday.
After the fall of the Awami League government in the face of protests and demands, Lucky did not come to his office.
