Dhaka, Feb. 15 -- Information Adviser Mohammad Nahid Islam has indicated that he may step down from his government position to join a new political party if he feels that working directly with people is more important than serving in the government.

"There are discussions about forming a new political party. If someone wishes to join, it is not possible by retaining a government role," Nahid said in an interview with a television channel on Saturday.

He said the new party is expected to be formed this month and if it happens, all will know it within a few days.
