Ishwardi (Pabna) Correspondent :
Protest, processions, street rallies and press conferences have been organized in Ishwardi by the general leaders and workers of BCL in protest of the announcement of committee of Ishwardi Upazila and Municipal BCL without any conference, prior announcement or discussion. A press conference was held on Wednesday at the Awami League office. Protest rallies and street rallies were held in the city before the press conference and on Tuesday afternoon.
At the press conference, the BCL leaders expressed extreme dissatisfaction and intense anger over the irregular announcement of the committee by the district committee. Incidentally, along with insulting the constitution, the pocket committee of Chhatra League has been announced by showing thumbs up to the rules, age limit and marital status of the people’s leader Sheikh Hasina. It is alleged that the district leaders in exchange of money made the grandson of Razakar, a member of Chhatra Dal, accused in drug case and the children of the disputed family who participated in the election on behalf of the boat rebel candidate president and general secretary of the upazila and municipal committee. Ishwardi Upazila and even the district Awami League are not aware of this. The announced pocket committee was immediately suspended or canceled and the election of the committee was demanded through the conference.
Municipal BCL General Secretary Nurul Islam Schwan gave a written statement at the press conference. College BCL general secretary Sabbir Hossain, BCL leaders Iftekhairul Emon, Hridoy Hossain, Safin Aranya, Nishan Ali, Ashiq Haider Bishal and Maruf Hasan Johnny spoke to the journalists. At that time a large number of Chhatra League leaders and activists were present.
The names of the new committee President and General Secretary of Ishwardi Upazila and Municipal BCL were revealed in a statement signed by District Acting President Firoz Ali and General Secretary Tajul Islam at the Pabna District BCL pad on Tuesday (April 5). The statement said that due to the expiration of the term, the previous committee was dissolved and the Upazila and Municipal Committee of Chhatra League was approved for one year to make the organization dynamic and fast.
In the incident, Pabna-4 MP Alhaj Nuruzzaman Biswas, Pabna District Awami League President Rezaul Rahim Lal and Ishwardi Upazila Awami League president and general secretary expressed extreme dissatisfaction and anger among the leaders.
