Gorbachev comeback muffles CPB hardliners

By Moinuddin Naser
The hardliners in the CPB, emboldened by the military coup In the Soviet Union on August 19. have weakened with the reinstatement of Gorbachev in power.
The CPB, shadowed by both hardliners and liberals, is preparing for its October 3-8 congress, when the party's main document blended with 'Olasnost' and 'Perestroika' would be placed.
During the last few years hardliners tn the party critictoed the Gorbachev initiatives on economic and political reforms aimed at abandoning Marxism and Leninism and
creating a market economy.
The hardliners in the party described lhc moves as ’counter revolutionary', backed by the capitalist world.
Majority of the party's niid-ranking workers sided with the hardliners and they believed that 'Glasnost' and 'Perestroika' would in no way yield any benefit lo a country like Bangladesh.
In a move lo redefine lhc parly manifesto the CPB formed a three-member commission headed by its centrist leader AJoy Roy
On the basis of lhc report of the commission the party central committee adopted the document to be placed in the next congress.
During the period of the abortive coup in the Soviet Union the party central office was totally packed with the anti-Perestroika forces.
They blamed the liberals of the party who wanted to recast the party manifesto in line with the initiatives of Gorbachev.
Some of them were found blaming the most liberal leader of the party Matiur Rahman, Editor of the party paper Ekota', vocal about the recasting of the party document in line with Gorbachev's initiatives.
Hardliner secretariat member Manzurul Ahsan Khan resigned tn early 1990 protesting the party's fully toeing of the Gorbachev line.
He had pressed for drawing a line of action on the basis of the prevailing political situation in the country.
At the same time at a central committee meeting liberal leader Matiur Rahman was also asked to resign his position as secretariat member because of his rigid stand against the hardliners.
He criticised the hardliners in the weekly Ekota',
The centrist forces of the parly led by AJoy Roy however held the rope of the party and tried to find out a device to accommodate both the lobbies in the party.
The main document of the parly already circulated among die parly cadres one year ago will be finally adopted in the congress with necessary modifications.
The congress preparatory committee of the CPB met in an emergency meeting Monday to assess the situation.
But the party leaders took a decision not to change the document on the basis of which the conferences of all district committees had already been completed by this time.
Party spokesman Nurul Islam told The Daily Star that the main document would not be changed and if there was any need to accommodate certain recommendations by any one in the document it would be done in the congress.
He said that the party document was adopted in the central committee not only on the basis of Gorbachev's new thinking, but the prevailing circumstances and economic condition of our country had also been taken into consideration.
