The Left-wing JaSod, now led by Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, has suffered a split at its national council with a group rebelling against his bid to install Shirin Akhter as general secretary “without a vote”
Sharif Nurul Ambia and Nazmul Haque Prodhan MP were named president and general secretary on Saturday by the rebel group which protested against former student leader Shirin’s being awarded the position in a manner not approved by the party’s constitution.
Moin Uddin Khan Badal, MP, made the announcement on behalf of the rebel group as the party was about to close its two-day national council.
Badal and his backers said that the Inu supporters had ignored the norm and sought to “elect” Shirin through a “voice vote”.
The minister’s supporters chanted slogans in favour of the minister and his long-time confidante Shirin as the rebels did their job naming their own committee.
Born as Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal or JSD in 1972 breaking away from the governing Awami League, the party has split a few times with its several factions still active under different names.
