Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad yesterday announced a new committee for the Dhaka South City Corporation with Syed Abu Hossain Babla as the convener and Johirul Alam Rubel as the member secretary.
Through a party statement, the JaPa chief announced the new committee dissolving the old one. The statement, signed by the party’s central Joint Office Secretary Abul Hassan Ahmed Juwel, also said the decision was made following the section 39 of the party charter.
Earlier, JaPa presidium member Kazi Firoz Rashid had been acting as the president of the old committee.
Contacted, Kazi Firoz Rashid told the Dhaka Tribune: “Our party chief does not want me in the party activities.
In the situation, I think, party activities cannot be perfectly carried out by me. For this reason, I told the party chief to cancel my post.”
Party insiders said the decision was made following recent conflicts between JaPa chief Ershad and his
wife Rawshan Ershad, the opposition leader.
Earlier, on July 27, Rawshan issued a letter to Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury to announce Kazi Firoz Rashid as the deputy leader of the opposition party in the parliament.
However, on August 7, Ershad issued a statement saying such decision to appoint the deputy leader was yet to be taken by the party.
