With whom Tareq Rahman is talking directly and has been kept under party surveillance.
According to sources, the space between the BNP supreme headquarters and these leaders has been widening for a few years on a variety of issues including posts. As a result, they need been united over the past few months with the National Unity Front and 20 parties, and a couple of smaller opposition parties. Join those that hold human chains and rallies ahead of the press club with various banners on various issues. They took part in those programs without informing the team. Often met secretly meetings. They didn’t hear the decision from the supreme headquarters on the idea of secret information.
Senior BNP leaders say the party has decided when the procession and assembly will happen. it’s a conspiracy if some people want to overthrow the govt with 100 people in at some point by going beyond the party’s direction. They think there might be some sabotage during this incident. If this happened, the whole responsibility would fall on the BNP.
Senior leaders said that an outsized neighborhood of the leaders who went against the most leaders of the party during 1/11 and proposed reforms and a part of the previous student leaders were involved within the process. Their movements are questionable for several months. Many are reducing contact with the team. Some are ‘inactive’ within the party program for quite a year. Leaders claim a few are functioning as party spies. Gradually, they’re building a 3rd strong party to overthrow the govt and take away the party’s chairperson Khaleda Zia and acting chairman Tarique Rahman to require control of the BNP.
Rumor has it that over the past few days, a variety of political parties and a few professional leaders, including the Jamaat and therefore the Left, have united to demand the autumn of the govt. that’s why they chose December 14. When the news reached the highest level of BNP in London, a robust message came from there. this is often not a celebration program, a strict message is conveyed to the president and general secretary of every organ and allied organization in order that the leaders and workers don’t participate within the program in any way. However, Hafiz Uddin and Shawkat Mahmud joined the method without following the party’s decision. For this reason, they were mourned. Hafiz Uddin was asked to reply to the show within 5 days and Shawkat Mahmud within 72 hours.
A central leader of the Chhatra Dal, who didn’t want to be named, said, “We were having a video conference with ‘Bhai’ (Tareq Rahman) on the night of the 13th. At one stage, he sternly told Chhatra Dal president Khokon Bhai that nobody should attend tomorrow’s program.” this is often not our party program.
Hundreds of BNP leaders and activists staged a protest within the capital’s Purana Paltan-Gulistan area on December 14 demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The protest was led by BNP leader Shawkat Mahmud, Syed Muhammad Ibrahim of Kalyan Party, Sadek Khan, general secretary of Muktijoddha Dal, and Selim Bhuiyan, principal of mass education. Even Ulfat, the president of the Muktijoddha Dal, was there.
Besides, Maulana Munjurul Islam Afendi, acting secretary-general of Ulamaye Islam (Qasemi), and a few of his followers also took part in the protest. consistent with several Jamiat leaders, Maulana Afendi stayed in Purana Paltan together with his followers at the instigation of party leader Maulana Monir Hossain Qasemi.
Several BNP leaders confirmed that they had been told to evacuate immediately after learning of the protest. Even the party’s acting chairperson in London, Tareq Rahman, is worried. He asked to seek out out who is doing this.
Major (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed, a reformist leader of One-Eleven, didn’t answer the notice albeit he was given 72 hours to try to do so. The BNP vice-chairman said, “I have received a letter from the party’s show cause.” I’m preparing a reply to the letter. I’m thinking. I will be able to make my statement through a news conference at my residence in Banani at 11 am on Saturday.
A leader on the brink of him said Hafizuddin would submit his written reply to the BNP headquarters after informing the media. He may announce his retirement from politics. However, a neighborhood of the BNP is trying to stay him far away from the news conference.
It is learned that Hafiz Uddin Ahmed was one among the reformists who couldn’t be trusted by Khaleda Zia after one-eleven. Thanks to which their team wasn’t assigned to any important work. Even multiple proposals to form him a member of the committee have actually become the mindset of the leadership on the difficulty of one-eleven. For these reasons, Hafiz Uddin has always been within the team – ‘Don’t catch fish like water’.
A member of the BNP’s committee said that anti-reform sentiments are strong within the Zia family since one-eleven. Since the catastrophe of that point, no active leader of the movement has been assigned to the important and urgent work of the party. Among those reformists, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed was within the front row. And this thought has always worked within the top leadership of the team. Although he was later suggested to be involved in various important activities of the party within a previous couple of years, Hafiz Uddin didn’t show interest in it. However, in recent times, a little a part of the party has gone beyond the highest leadership and engaged in various ‘controversial’ activities. That’s why the 2 senior leaders are protested to warn them beforehand.
When asked, BNP senior joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the party may have different views. But nobody is ‘out of party discipline’. Leaders and activists of a party can never break party discipline. it’s a rule.
Sources said BNP general secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Major General (retd) Syed Muhammad Ibrahim, chairman of the Kalyan Party, one among the allies of the 20-party alliance, met at the chairperson’s political office in Gulshan on Thursday. They then contacted BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia. a pacesetter on the brink of Tarique Rahman said the acting chairman was also positive about Hafiz Uddin and Shawkat Mahmud on the recommendation of the party’s responsible leaders. That is, he won’t be harsh about them.
Meanwhile, Shawkat Mahmud replied to the show cause within the stipulated time. On Wednesday night, his personal assistant Abdul Momin delivered the reply to the BNP’s headquarters in Naya Paltan. consistent with sources on the brink of Shawkat Mahmood, he has given his answer in three lines. He said he wasn’t knowingly involved in any anti-disciplinary work outside the ideology of the nationalist party, outside the party’s decision. Even then, he’s sorry if he’s involved in any work without his knowledge.
During the army-backed caretaker government, then-Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan was trying to make a separate committee within the party, excluding Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman. They became referred to as a part of the reformist movement. However, they didn’t achieve proposing reforms in two years. Instead, Mannan Bhuiyan and his associates dropped out of the team. However, that incident has created an area line within the party. Although an outsized part of Mannan Bhuiyan’s followers returned to the BNP at one stage, their position within the party is weak.
