UNB, Rajshahi :
Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Mayor Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul joined in his office following the High Court verdict that stayed the government
order suspending him from his post.
He took charge around 11:45 am. The RCC councilors and leaders and activists of BNP greeted him with flowers. After sitting on his chair he prayed and a doa was held at his office. When talking to the reporters, he said “I had made a pledge to the RCC dwellers to give a green, healthy and clean city while taking charge but it could not be possible following suspension and I was outside the city corporation in the last two years. I don’t know the present situation of the office. I’ll try my level best to make a friendly relation with the others and it will be my first challenge.”
Earlier, on Tuesday, the High Court stayed the government order suspending Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Mayor Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul.
The government on Sunday suspended the BNP-backed Mayor several hours after he took over, as the Supreme Court upheld a High Court order that declared his suspension illegal on March 5.
On Sunday, the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives issued a circular suspending him again.
UNB Court Correspondent report, the High Court on Wednesday asked the Local Government Ministry to give permission for hajj to Habiganj municipality Mayor GK Gaus within three days.
It also asked the Home Secretary and the Immigration officers to not harass GK Gaus during his journey to Airport. An HC bench of Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain and Justice Md Ataur Rahman Khan passed the orders following a petition filed by senior Lawyer Khandaker Mahbub Hossain.
Earlier, Habiganj municipality Mayor GK Gaus made an appeal to the Local Government Ministry, seeking permission to go to hajj on March 23. Later, he sent a legal notice to the Ministry on March 29 as the authorities concerned did not pay any heed to their appeal. Getting no response again, GK Gaus filed a writ petition before the High Court.
