Two ‘controversial’ BCL UZ committees suspended
Two upazila committees of pro-Awami League student body Chhatra League have been suspended following a huge controversy and demonstration by some of those who could not make it to the new committees.
BCL district unit suspended its Kumarkhali and Mirpur committees on June 10, said Yasir Arafath Tushar, president of the unit.
Earlier on June 4, the same unit announced its two-member Kumarkhali and seven-member Mirpur upazila committees.
The committees include non-students, shopkeepers, government service holders, drug dealers and addicts.
Protest and demonstration began soon after the committees were formed.
BCL insiders said many dedicated leaders and activists were deprived, while those allegedly having connections with BNP, its pro-student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal as well as Chhatra Shibir have been included in the new committees.
According to the BCL constitution’s section-5 (Ga), married people, non-students, businessman and employers cannot get any post in the committee.
But the BCL district unit president and general secretary have picked some “controversial” people, ignoring many dedicated leaders and activists, said BCL district committee sources.
In Kumarkhali upazila unit BCL, Mehedi Hasan was made president and Ali Hossain general secretary.
Meanwhile, Mostafizur Rahman and Bijoy Ali Tufan were made president and general secretary respectively in Mirpur upazila unit.
Rasel Ahmed, former general secretary of Kumarkhali upazila unit BCL, said such a committee is not acceptable at all.
District BCL President Tushar said a five-member inquiry committee, led by district unit activist Atiqur Rahman Anik, has been formed to investigate the matter.
Steps will be taken after getting the report, said the BCL leader.
