Joy already in important post: Hasina
Amid councillors’ continuous demand for giving Sajeeb Wazed Joy an important position in the party, Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina said he is already holding an important position as her adviser.
Most of the councillors who have addressed the second session today strongly advocated for the inclusion of Awami League President Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy in the party's leadership position.

So far 24 councillors who are also district-level leaders, spoke on the occasion.
The AL chief is presiding over the closed-door final session of the 20th National Council which is in progress at the Institute of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB) in Dhaka this morning.
Terming Joy the future leader of the party, the AL councillors told the session that it is high time for him to join it, according to the councillors present at the programme.
Joy, also the prime minister's ICT affairs adviser, joined the session at 12:00pm, amid grass-roots level leaders’ demand for his inclusion in the party.
Yesterday, while addressing the second and final session of the AL national council's inaugural day, the grassroots leaders including eight district leaders from eight divisions and two leaders from the United Kingdom and the United States said they want to see Joy in the party's leadership position.
They also believe Sheikh Hasina should continue to lead the party as there is no alternative to her.
