Free office from Roni's control, AL asks Patuakhali unit
The central Awami League has asked its Patuakhali district unit to free Galachipa upazila AL office from control of lawmaker Golam Mowla Roni's supporters and hand over it to the present committee headed by Harun-ur-Rashid and Golam Mostofa Tito.
The AL district unit received a letter signed by Mrinal Kanti Das, deputy office secretary of the central committee, in this regard on Monday.
Patuakhali district AL Secretary Khan Mosharraf Hossain said they will act as per order of the central committee. "We will soon request the local administration to take necessary steps to free the office which is now under control of Roni and his supporters."
He said the supporters of Roni, lawmaker from Patuakhali-3 (Galachipa-Dashmina) constituency, captured the office following a quarrel between Roni and Haru-ur-Rashid in August 2009.
Later, Roni declared Rezaul Karim as president of Galachipa AL unit though Harun and Tito were earlier made president and general secretary of the unit through a council.
After the incident, Harun and Tito sought intervention of the district unit that forwarded the matter to the central body, seeking its actions against Roni and his supporters.
When contacted, Rezaul Karim said he is sitting in the office as local MP Golam Mowla Roni made him president of the upazila unit.
