Set specific agenda before formal dialogue: Bhuiyan

Staff Correspondent
Former BNP secretary general Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan, one of the top leaders of pro-Saifur faction, yesterday said specific agenda should be set pnor to the formal dialogues between the government and political parties to make them successful.
All the problems should be resolved through dialogues, he said, adding that date of holding general election, code of conduct tor political parties and their behaviour after election, effective parliament, ratification of interim administration's decisions, amendment to constitution in bringing balance of power between president and prime minister and release of political leaders might be included in the agenda.
Bhuiyan was addressing a discussion as chief guest at Engineers' Institute auditorium to mark the May Day with Maj (Retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed, acting secretary general of the faction, in the chair.
Pointing to the pro Khaleda faction leader's announcement that they will not participate in election without Khaleda Zia, he said election will be held in time. Why is there a decision to boycott the election if the credible election is held quickly?
Bhuiyan, who was expelled by the chairperson but reinstated by the BNP standing committee as a member, urged all the political parties to cooperate Election Commission (EC) so that the EC can hold election according to its electoral roadmap.
Terming split in BNP, acting secretary general Maj (Retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed said reforms are necessary in the party as some party leaders derailed from the ideology of Ziaur Rahman, founder of the party.
"We removed Badruddoza Chowdhury from the post of president though he was totally innocent," said Hafiz, also a former
minister of Khaleda's cabinet, quizzing what was his (B Chwodhury's) fault?
He bitterly criticised the pro-Khaleda faction leaders, saying there are few leaders in BNP's top positions after the chairperson who could not win any election before. “Those persons are the leaders?" he questioned.
"It won't be acceptable that they will be leaders by flattering chairperson after being defeated in elections repeatedly," he said, asking die pro Khaleda leader to leave die slavery attitude.
Demanding specific date for election, party's standing committee member Lt Gen (Retd) Mahbubur Rahman said few people are creating obstacles in the way of the party’s unity to achieve their own parochial interest.
Maj Gen (Retd) ZA Khan, Mofazza) Karim, Shah Abu Zafar and Monir Hossain also spoke in the discussion.
