Download PDF Many BNP leaders are trying to be united under the leadership of Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan to face any probable conflict within the party following possible departure of Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
More leaders, including a few former ministers, met Bhuiyan at his Gulshan residence yesterday to express their solidarity with him as they think a group of party leaders are engaged in anti-party activities to serve their own interest.
Sources said some former ministers and senior leaders have already talked to many district level leaders and asked them not to be confused over the “so-called initiative” taken by the party chairperson to bring changes in the party leadership.
A vested group in the party is trying to serve their own interest and grab the leadership using the name of the party chairperson, a BNP leader said.
“The millions of party workers and supporters will not accept anyone in the absence of Khaleda Zia…They will not even accept any change in the post of secretary general without any formal announcement from the chairperson,” a former BNP lawmaker said.
Bhuiyan is the only leader who is acceptable at all levels of the party in the absence of Khaleda, he added.
Former minister Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Osman Farruk, Kamrul Islam, Lutfozzaman Babar, Nasirul Haque Sabu, Shakhawat Hossain Bakul and many leaders, workers and activists of BNP’s front organisations–Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal–gathered at Bhuiyan’s Gulshan residence yesterday.
Earlier on Saturday, at least 100 former ministers, lawmakers and party leaders met Bhuiyan after watching a television interview of Brigadier (retd) Hannan Shah, adviser to the party chairperson, in which he claimed that Khaleda would bring changes in the party rank and file, including in the post of secretary general.
