Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has been served a legal notice that asked him to voluntarily resign from the office in 48 hours for his recent "controversial comment".
Speaking at an event in Chattogram on Thursday, Momen had said he requested the Indian government to do whatever necessary for continuation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Supreme Court lawyer Md Ershad Hossain Rashed sent the legal notice on Sunday saying that the minister's statement was in violation of the constitution of the country as people of the country are the source of all powers as per the constitution.
He said: "I will take necessary legal action against Momen if he does not resign from the office of foreign minister in 48 hours."
