| 2010-02-23 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] At least 24 leaders of Islami Chhatra Shibir including its secretary general Abdullah Al Mamun Chowdhury "quit" from the students' body last night apparently due to internal conflict over the Rajshahi University violence on February 9. The office secretary and finance secretary of Shibir and the president of its Dhaka University unit were among those who resigned, party sources said. Shibir insiders said a section of Shibir leaders brought allegations including that of the failure to handle the Rajshahi University incident properly against Shibir President Rezaul Karim and top-level Jamaat-e-Islami leaders. The Jamaat leaders had held a series of meetings with Shibir leaders at the Al-Falah auditorium in the city yesterday and the day before to resolve the dispute. Shibir general secretary Mamun in the wee hours today told The Daily Star that he had actually resigned two days ago due to personal reasons. Asked about the rest of the Shibir leaders' resignation, Mamun refused to comment. Many Shibir leaders who resigned could not be reached for their comments last night as they kept their mobile phones switched off. |
