Khoka, Abbas close Dhaka

BNP gap

Rakib Hasnet Suman
Rival leaders of Dhaka city unit of BNP- -Dhaka City Corporation Mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka and former mayor Mirza Abbas -attended a meeting together yesterday evening following the party chief s Instructions to work together.
Party insiders believe the conflict within the unit could be reduced if the two rivals worked together. The unit, which is now running without any committee, is apparently divided into two factions led by these two leaders.
Following a direction of Chairperson Khaleda Zia, Khoka called Abbas at about 4:00pm over telephone and requested him to attend a meeting at the party office to discuss preparations of the rally at Paltan Maidan on Saturday where the chairperson will be the chief guest, said the insiders.
During the telephone conversation Abbas assured Khoka th3t he would attend the meeting. "I told him [Abbas] that we all should work together to make ffie chairperson's programme successful," Khoka said while talking to The Daily Star before ffie meeting.
J Askedif he can convene any party meeting since he is no longer a designated leader of the party's city committee, Khoka said, "The chairperson has asked me to organise ffie party in the city and as a party worker we are working to make Saturday's rally a success."
Mirza Abbas said ffie party office already informed him about ffie meeting. "I will do anything and I will go to any place to make the chairperson's programme successful," he told The Daily Star.
Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal, labourers' wing of ffie main opposition BNR will hold ffie rally on ffie occasion of May Day.
Earlier, organisers of such a preparatory meeting did not invite Khoka and his followers and this annoyed him.
On Monday night, Khaleda held an exclusive meeting with Khoka and asked him to work to reorganise ffie party's city unit, the most important unit of the party.
Khaleda also called Mirza Abbas to her Gulshan office on Ttiesday night and discussed ffie next city unit committee. She asked Abbas to work together with Khoka.
Abbas said meetings between him and ffie chairperson was nothing new. "I met her a hundred times in ffie last 30 years ...But a game is going on against me,’ said Abbas.
A number of leaders includ-ing Sramik Dal President Nazrul Islam Khan, former city unit general secretary Abdus Salam and a few ward councillors attended yesterday's meeting.
