BNP central body awaits shake-up

Poor performers to be replaced by new faces in the Dec 8 council

RAKIB HASNET SUMAN
A major reshuffle in the BNP National Executive Committee is in the offing as the main opposition party is preparing to form a new committee through its national council slated for Decembers.
A number of mid-level leaders might be promoted to the posts of joint secretary general and organising secretary, said party insiders.
Some new leaders are likely to get secretarial posts of the 251 -member committee.
Many leaders wall be dropped from the committee due to their poor performance during the tenure of the last caretaker government and in the last few months.
"Those who showed courage and commit-
ment to party leadership in bad times must hold leadership," a BNP joint secretary general told The Daily Star wishing anonymity.
The BNP leader said the party chairperson will prepare her plan on the next committee expected to be approved by the councillors unanimously.
A number of BNP lawmakers, leaders and workers said they think leaders like Zainul Abdin Farroque, Barkat Ullah Bulu, Shamsuzzaman Dudu, Mohammad Shahjahan, Amanullah Aman, Fazlul Haque Milon, Ilias Ali, Nazimuddin Alam, Khairul Kabir Khokon, Mujibur Rahman Sarwar, Fazlur Rahman and Mizanur Rahman Minu might be promoted to the posts of joint secretary general and organisational secretary.
Some other leaders including Nazrul Islam Khan, Sadeque Hossain Khoka, Selima Rahman, Mirza Abbas, Goyeshwar Chandra Roy might be promoted to vice chairman posts.
There is also a chance of nominating Nazrul Islam Khan as standing committee member along with others like Brig Gen (retd) ASM Hannan Shah, MKAnwar.TH Khan and Jam iruddin Sircar.
The party leaders who have remained inactive, sided with the reformists or participated in the last parliamentary election defying party decision will be dropped from the new committee, party insiders said.
Many leaders in a bid to get desired posts are now trying to contact Tarique Rahman, who might play a vital role in the formation of both the executive and national standing committees, they said.
According to the party constitution, national executive committee is formed with 251 members but the chairperson has the authority to change it for special reasons.
The number cannot be increased more than ten percent of 251 which is subject to approval of the standing committee, says the party constitution.
The national executive committee has to sit every four months in line with a provision of the party constitution but the present one sat in 2005 for the last time.
The constitution says the committee will work to settle internal conflicts. It will control and coordinate the activities of other committees at various levels and also party's front organisations.
