BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir may get the full charge of Secretary General through the upcoming sixth national council of the party slated for March 19.
At the same time, the names of BNP’s senior leaders Tariqul Islam, Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, Abdullah Al Noman, Hafizuddin Ahmed and Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed are also being discussed for the post.
Meanwhile, the BNP leaders of different levels have started lobbying for the other coveted posts in the party’s Central and Standing Committees and Advisory Council ahead of the national council.
The aspirant leaders and their supporters have started gathering at party’s Nayapaltan central office and
Chairperson’s Gulshan office to draw the attention of influential senior leaders.
Party sources said that many leaders, who had been inactive for long, have also become active ahead of the Council Session slated for March 19. Many of the current central leaders are lobbying hard for the positions of Secretary General, Senior Joint Secretary General, Joint Secretary General, organising secretary and other coveted posts. However, position in the national standing committee, the party’s highest policy-making body, is the final target of the party’s senior leaders, the sources said.
The BNP has taken the situation positively. It hopes that the party would be able to make a turnaround by holding the forthcoming sixth national council.
Mirza Fakhrul said that many leaders and activists are now gathering at Nayapaltan and Chairperson’s offices with a fresh zeal ahead of the Council. It proves that the party leaders and activists are eagerly waiting for the Council, he added.
BNP standing committee member Lt Gen (retd) Mahbubur Rahman admitted that many leaders phoned him seeking blessing. He said that he told them that the qualified, the dedicated and the committed party men would be in the leadership.
Sources said that the current 386-member National Executive Committee might be small. Many former student leaders are trying to persuade the party high command to take them in the Executive Committee.
Some new faces might be added in National Standing Committee. Three posts in the 19-member standing committee are now vacant following the death of three standing committee members, while three to four members are now suffering from chronic illness.
The BNP is moving fast towards the Council. The party has prepared the list of councillors, said party joint-secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed.
Party insiders said that BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, in a bid to avoid internal conflicts, is now monitoring efforts to revamp the party and its preparation for the National Council.
