Meanwhile, the resignation letter from Chapainawabganj-3 MP Harunur Rashid, who is currently abroad, was not accepted.
He has been asked to submit his resignation again with a proper signature.
Earlier yesterday morning, five of the seven BNP MPs submitted their resignations to Jatiya Sangsad (JS) Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury as part of their anti-government movement with a 10-point demand that includes dissolution of parliament.
They went to the parliament around 11am and handed in their resignation letters in person.
But, Brahmanbaria-2 MP Abdus Sattar Bhuiyan could not appear physically due to his illness.
