Players angry at new ad-hoc committee

Sports Reporter
The leading chess players of the country yesterday gave their vote of no confidence' on the new ad-hoc committee and asked the regulatory body of country's sport the National Sports Council to hold elections of the federation.
The players under the banner of Association of Chess Players (ACP) Bangladesh also observed that new general secretary Mokaddes Ali and his number one joint secretary Masudur Rahman are incompetent' to run the federation.
"We believe that no qualifications were considered to form the ad-hoc committee and the appointment of the general secretary and the joint secretary 1 are totally unacceptable. They do not even have the quality to be a member of the federation," said Grand Master Reefat Bin Sattar while reading out a statement as president of ACP Bangladesh.
While explaining their position at the Bangladesh Sports Journalist Association office at the Bangabandhu National Stadium, Reefat said that some 20 players including GM Enamul Hossain Rajib, GM Abdullah Al Rakib, FM Sheikh Nasiruddin and FM Khandaker Aminul Islam have expressed their solidarity against the new committee, which was announced on Thursday.
Reefat said that they had earlier met the sports minister and requested him to hold a free and fair election in the greater interest of the chess.
"But we are appalled to see an ad-hoc committee and that too with people who lack leadership qualities,” Reefat observed.
Asked how they condemn a committee which is yet to take over, Reefat said: “We know some of the members of the committee, who are holding key posts, for a long time and they have no such quality to lead the chess federation and we can comment early on them."
Reefat however refrained from making any comment on whether they would boycott domestic or international events under the new committee.
He was very critical of Mokaddes Hossain and one stage termed the new general secretary as a promoter' of gambling in the federation.
"He (Mosaddek) has a history of having gamble boards inside the federation and as a player we will never accept those gamblers as leaders," Reefat said acidly.
Mokaddes Hossain however denied the allegation and termed it baseless.
He also alleged that Sujauddin Ahmed, a member of the previous committee, is injecting fuel among the players after being left out of the newad-hoc committee.
He also held Sujauddin Ahmed responsible for promoting players like Rajib. Sumon and Nasir to play cards at his predecessor Jamiiur Rahman's office room.
"Actually they are unhappy because their uncle Sujauddin Ahmed was not in the committee," said Mokaddes.
The chess players also attacked Masudur Rahman for his stunning promotion from having a per diern status to being promoted to a leader.
