Mirza Abbas meets disgruntled JCD leaders

BNP leader Mirza Abbas’ meeting with the disgruntled Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leaders who have been protesting against the new committee has ended inconclusively.
He spoke with the leaders who were left out of the new committee of the party's student affiliate, which was approved by BNP chief Khaleda Zia on Oct 14.
The meeting took place at his home in the capital’s Shahjahanpur Tuesday amid violent protests and fighting, according to a news agency.
“They will not lose their positions, neither are they rebels. Their opinions merely differ from those on the new committee."
“They came to express their views which I listened to. I will let the leader (Khaleda) know of it,” Abbas told the reporters after a meeting of an hour and a half.
Jatiyatabadi Juba Dal President Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal was present in the meet.
After the meeting, vice-president of the last committee Abu Sayeed told the reporters, “We have spoken about our demands with him… We will do whatever necessary to defend Chhatra Dal. Things will happen the way the leader (Khaleda) wants.”
