Sec 144 as Factional Feud Deepens Further
25 more members of new Pabna BNP body resign
With resignation of 25 more members from their posts in the newly formed committee, internal feud in Pabna BNP has further deepened.
Former president of the district unit Sirajul Islam Sardar, who has been made an advisor in the new committee, announced this at a press conference at the local press club on Friday.
“The new committee was formed excluding the dedicated leaders and workers. So we have decided to quit the posts,” he told the conference.
Join Secretary Saiful Islam Badsha, Assistant Organising Secretary Sheikh Shamsul Islam, and executive committee member Johurul Islam Bishu are among the 25 who resigned from the new committee.
Sirajul Islan Sardar alleged that Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, personal assistant to BNP chairperson, had influenced the central committee to approve the new committee formed by his supporters.
Rejecting the new committee, the former district unit president urged the central BNP to form a new one with the dedicated leaders and workers.
On Thursday, five members of the newly formed committee resigned from their posts. They are Md Sabir Hossain Bachchu, joint secretary, Mahfuzur Rahman Chowdhury, co-operative secretary, Rafiqul Islam Rafique, assistant publicity secretary, Moni Talukder and Habibur Rahman Nannu, members of the body.
Meanwhile, Pabna district administration yesterday imposed Section 144, banning rallies and processions in the town from 6:00am to 10:00pm today as two factions of the BNP district unit announced to hold separate rallies and processions in line with the central committee programme.
