Two factions of Magura BNP--one led district Convener Kabir Murad and another by joint Convener advocate Mokaddes Hossain--yesterday held councils of two upazila units. Murad backed faction held Mohammadpur upazila unit conference on the premises of Quazi Salima Haque Women's College while Mokaddes group organised the conference of Sreepur upazila unit at Khamarpara Bridge Chattar at the upazila headquarters. Chaired by Mohammadpur BNP Convener Alimuzzaman, Kabir Murad attended the conference as the chief guest. It was addressed, among others, by district BNP Joint Convener advocate Rokonuzzaman and upazila BNP leaders Jahangir Alam Bachchu, Hafizur Rahman Baki Mian, Mahmud Hossain and Tarikul Islam Tara. Earlier on November 21, Mokaddes-led faction of Mohammadpur upzila unit held its conference. “We held our conference separately protesting anti-organisational activities of Kabir Murad and his followers”, upazila unit Joint convener Akhteruzzaman said. Advocate Mokaddes Hossain yesterday attended Sreepur upazila unit conference as the chief guest. Chaired by Joint Convener Badrul Alam Hero, the conference was addressed by district BNP leaders Mohammad Nazimuddin and Iqbal Akhter Khan, Sreepur upazila unit joint conveners Golam Mustafa, Khalilur Rahman, Sanat Kumar Biswas and Kamruzzaman. Sreepur upazila unit Convener Joardar Ashraful Alam, who belongs to Kabir Murad faction, held the council of the unit on November 21. Though both factions held council and counter council of the upazila units, they could not form the committees. They constituted subject committees to finalise the names of the office-bearers. Talking to this correspondent, Sreepur upazila unit Convener Ashraful Alam said Joint Convener Badrul has no right to hold conference. “He held the council violating party constitution,” Ashraful added.
