UNB, Dhaka :
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia sat with her party’ s standing committee members tonight (Thursday night) to finalise a set of proposals for the party’s charter amendment and various organisational decisions.
The proposals were made by party’s different units and leaders ahead of BNP’s sixth national council to be held on March 19. The meeting began at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office at 9:15pm with Khaleda in the chair.
It will be the last meeting of the current standing committee.
BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Alamgir said the standing committee meeting will approve various proposals for party’s charter amendment and work out different decisions and guidelines for making the council a success.
BNP standing committee member Lt Gen (retd) Mahbubur Rahman said the party policy makers will asses the proposals at their meeting, and approve those are suitable for placing for the session of the party councillors. “If the councillors pass those proposals, our constitution will be amended for incorporating those.”
He hoped that their party will be able to make a turnaround through the council by reshuffling BNP’s standing and national executive committees. Earlier on January 23, Khaleda had a meeting with the BNP policymakers where they decided to hold the council on March 19. BNP’ s fifth national council was held on December 8, 2009.
The party will hold its inaugural session at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh. BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia will inaugurate it at 10am. But it is planning to hold its closed-door meeting of the council session at Mohanagar Natya Mancha in Gulistan to accommodate its nearly 2,850 councillors.
Party sources said a sub-committee on constitution amendment has already finalised a draft of nearly 50 proposals for the constitution amendment and submitted those to the chief of drafting sub-committee for placing those at the meeting of party standing committee members for approval.
A party standing committee member preferring anonymity said there is a proposal for forming 17 sub-committees on different sectors, including finance, health, education, foreign, law and order, agriculture, environment, power and energy, information and communication technology (ICT), local government, and women and minorities affairs, in the executive committee.
