Ruling Awami League leaders in Dhaka, who were at loggerheads with each other until recently over contesting the ensuing city polls, seem to have buried the hatchet, reports bdnews24.com.
Disgruntled leader Haji Mohammad Salim, who only three days ago told Parliament about how he was prevented from contesting the polls, is now gearing up to campaign for party-endorsed Dhaka South City Corporation candidate Sayeed Khokon.
The two emerged hand-in-hand from Chawkbazar Shahi Mosque after Friday prayers, in an apparent display of bonhomie before a curious media contingent.
Salim, an independent MP, had also invited Khokon and several other Awami League leaders to lunch at his home.
Khokon said, "Salim vai (brother) invited me to say prayers [at Chawkbazar mosque]. So, I came."
Awami League joint general secretaries Mahbub-Ul Alam Hanif and Jahangir Kabir Nanak, among others, were also there.
