Two leaders blamed for failure to run JCD

Central leaders of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) yesterday expressed deep resentment against its two top leaders, accusing them of failing to run the organisation efficiently.
Some of the leaders demanded declaration of a new central committee on January 1, the founding anniversary of the associated student body of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), at the central committee meeting at the Bhashani Hall in the city.
Md Adnan Alam Khan Babu, a member of the central committee who attended the meeting, told The Daily Star that BNP's Student Affairs Secretary Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annee echoed the JCD leaders.
Annee, quoted by Adnan, said he has not heard of any success of this central committee but certainly knew about its failures.
Adnan said, “Annee bhai expressed resentment on the top leaders of JCD for their poor performance during the BNP called hartal on November 30.
“I told the meeting that in spite of being a central committee member I did not know the spot for JCD to enforce the hartal. We don't know where the top leaders were staying during the hartal hours.”
Annee also expressed resentment as the JCD leaders could not establish coexistence on the Dhaka University campus and there was no certain move from the central leaders in this regard, said Adnan.
“He [Annee] also expressed anger as full-fledged committees in most of the district and unit including the most vital committee that is the Dhaka University committee were not declared.”
JCD General Secretary Amirul Islam Khan Alim, however, denied the allegations of any resentment against their leadership in the meeting.
He said the JCD at the meeting decided to hold a rally at city's Muktangon on December 15 protesting recent remarks by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the parliament about opposition leader Khaleda Zia.
Alim said they would also stage a demonstration on the Dhaka University campus on December 13 demanding coexistence on the campus.
