Discontent prevails among leaders over Kushtia AL council

Some senior leaders of the ruling Awami League have allegedly been fed up due to not getting invitation to much-awaited Kushtia district unit AL council going to be held today after a gap of ten years.

It was learnt that AL lawmaker Abdur Rauf from Kushtia 4 constituency, Daulatpur upazila unit AL President and also former MP Afaz Uddin and district unit AL Senior Vice-President and also Kushtia Sadar Municipality Mayor Anwar Ali were not invited to the programme where AL General Secretary and LGRD Minister Sayed Ashraful Islam was supposed to attend as the chief guest.  

When asked, MP Abdur Rauf acknowledged the matter, saying: “Some leaders have been running the party at their will. There are only two MPs in the district from my party. I have not been invited to the council and its consequence will not be good.”

When contacted, Afaz Uddin echoed the voice of Rauf, telling that they have made allegation in this regard to the high-ups of the party.

On the contrary, Kushtia unit General Secretary Asgar Ali denied the matter of not sending invitation card to the aforesaid leaders.
