'Rebel' Khulna AL leaders to face action
Khulna Awami League will take disciplinary action against one mayoral and 38 councillor candidates who contested the August 4 KCC elections defying decision of the party.
Actions will also be taken against those party men who worked directly or indirectly against Talukder Abdul Khaleque who got green signal from AL-led 14-party alliance to contest in the KCC mayoral race, said city AL secretary Mizanur Rahman Mizan.
Actions will be taken at a party meeting soon, he said.
Mayoral candidate advocate Enayet Ali, who contested Khaleque in the KCC polls is a prominent member of the executive committee of Khulna city Awami League.
Supported by a group of dissident party leaders and workers not loyal to Khaleque, Enayet Ali had turned down repeated requests of some local and central leaders to stay out of the mayoral race in favour of Talukder Abdul Khaleque.
Councillor candidates who contested the polls without party nod will not be spared, said Khulna city AL president and mayor-elect Talukder Abdul Khaleque.
