Deprived and aggrieved Chhatra Dal leaders yesterday threatened to enforce non-stop sit-in programmes from today in front the Nayaplatan headquarters to press home their three-point demands, including cancellation of the new committee, expulsion of Sahiduddin Chowdhury Annie and Sulatn Salahuddin Tuku.
They also demanded withdrawal of the explanation of three Chhatra Dal leaders immediately who were expelled for this movement.
“We have waited for a long time but we did not get any response from the BNP high-ups. As we have no other alternative, we have announced this programme,” Ferdaus Munna, one of the leaders claiming they have been deprived, told journalists.
Last Wednesday, these leaders announced that if their demand were not considered within seven days, they would go for tougher movement.
On October 14, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia announced a 201-member partial committee of the Chhatra Dal with Rajib Ahsan as president and Akramul Hasan as general secretary. Since then a group of leaders waged a movement demanding cancelation of the committee.
These leaders blamed BNP Students Affair Secretary Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie and Assistant Student Affair Secretary Sultan Salahuddin Tuku for the crisis and demanded their expulsion.
Munna said if the BNP high-ups expelled Annie and Tuku, they would work in the organisation as normal activists.
