Govt's Two-Year Celebration
Ctg city AL factions to hold separate programmes
Intra-party feud and division in Awami League (AL) Chittagong city unit has intensified again over celebrating government's two-year term and marking the Homecoming Day of Bangabandhu.
One faction is led by city unit President and former mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury and the other led by Vice President and lawmaker of Kotwali constituency Nurul Islam BSc.
Both are set to hold two separate rallies today and tomorrow.
Nurul's faction rented Laldighi Moidan for tomorrow where Mohiuddin's long-time close supporter Primary and Mass Education Minister Afsarul Amin is scheduled to attend as the chief guest.
Two other close aides of Mohiuddin, city unit Joint General Secretary Advocate Ibrahim Hossain Chowdhury Babul and its Treasurer Abdus Salam will attend.
The faction held a meeting, in this regard, with leaders of grassroots and activists of 43 organisational wards at Chittagong Circuit House on Friday.
Leaders at the meeting blamed Mohiuddin's faction for spreading confusion among the party activists about Monday's rally. Pointing to Mohiuddin, Afsarul said city unit is not depended on one man, rather based on grassroots activists and urged all to make tomorrow's meeting a success
City unit General Secretary Kazi Inamul Hoque Danu said they are holding the rally a day before today as the venue was hired earlier.
He said they had already urged the ward committees and different wings like Chhatra League, Jubo League and Swechchhasebok League to attend the rally.
