Congratulations, Sohel Taj! Like father like son. We are proud of you. I think you have made a good decision. Anonymous
The nation congratulates you on your resignation. You are a real hero. As you are the son of our great leader Tajuddin Ahmad, we hope you will never leave us. We will always wait for your leadership. Mohammad Nurul Hoque
Resignation is not the solution. By resigning from your MP post, you have shown that you are unfit for politics. Shamim
Other lawmakers should take lesson from him on integrity. Mohsin
We can feel the agony of Sohel Taj. A man who was elected by the people of Kapashia and now living far away from them must be broken-hearted. However, we should respect his decision. In fact, he echoed the agony of us. Zakir, Narsingdi
If we get more of such type of leaders, then Bangladesh can curb corruption. Young generation, please follow him. Present government should consider this matter seriously. Anonymous
Congratulations on doing a good job. A person with dignity, self-respect and conscience can not work with this government. I am sure the country will be deprived of his bold leadership, but his conscience will be clear. Good luck and wishing you all the best. Amin
Now Kapashia by-election will be a lesson for the followers of present opportunist politics. M.S. Farazi
We are proud of him; he has a bold character like his father. His father was one of the main founders of Bangladesh and remains in the heart of people. He should prove his ability even after resignation. Major Arif Ahamed (rtd )
I believe Sohel Taj is following in his father's footsteps, but it is not clear to me why he is not disclosing the fact to the people. We have the right to know what problems he had faced. Mr. Sohel Taj, if you remain loyal to the party by not disclosing the truth, then you are cheating with the people who have elected you as an MP. Mohammad Jashim Uddin
It is really a shame for us that at last we have received Shoel Taj's resignation. But why this drama? He is a man of personality. I wish to see more leaders like Sohel Taj in the future. Mohammad Rahman
We will miss him a lot.
