Monday, 20 October 2014
The aggrieved Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal activists, deprived of posts in its new committee, Sunday postponed their demonstration and sit-in programmes in front their Nayapaltan central office following a fruitful meeting with BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, reports UNB.
After an hour-long meeting between Fakhrul and five leaders of JCD dissident group, Rakibul Islam Royal said they have postponed their agitation programmes until Monday.
He said they have made the decision as the BNP acting secretary general assured them of taking the issue with BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Royal claimed Fakhrul told them that he would talk to the BNP chief Sunday night about their demand for resignation of BNP student affairs secretary Shaheeduddin Chowdhury Anee and assistant secretary Sultan Salauddin Tuku and forming a new committee dissolving Rajib Ahasan and Akramul Hasan-led one. The chairperson's decision to this end will be informed by Monday.
"We'll wait for the decision of the high-command and announce our next course of action after that," he added.
In the wake of violent demonstrations by rebel JCD men, Fakhrul invited the rebel leaders -- Rakibul Islam Royal, Tariqul Islam Titu, Moshiur Rahman Mishu, Shamsuzzaman Khokan and Rafiqul Islam -- to his chamber on the 2nd floor of BNP's Nayapaltan central office around 5pm and sat in the meeting.
Earlier in the day, the deprived JCD men locked the main gate of the BNP's Nayapaltan central office, confining some senior BNP leaders, including Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamigr, to it.
