BD Digest Report

11 Chhatra League leaders have been appointed to the newly announced 32-member convening committee of Mymensingh Medical College branch of Chhatra Dal. There is a storm of criticism within and outside the party regarding this. Last Friday, a letter signed by Central Chhatra Dal President Md. Rakibul Islam Rakib and General Secretary Nasir Uddin announced the partial committee of Chhatra Dal. Tanvir Abdullah has been appointed as the convener of the Medical College branch of the committee and Mehedi Hasan has been appointed as the member secretary. However, 11 leaders of the Medical College branch of Chhatra League’s 2023 committee have been appointed to the committee. Among them, Md., a member of the College branch of Chhatra League, has been appointed as the joint convener. Mohaiminul Islam Noman, Rizvi Ahmed, Saad Mohammad, Niloy Saha Proyas, Jannatul Islam Nabil, Abdul Baset Shiblu, Arafat Hossain Rifat, Zakaria Arju and Sabbir Ahmed Sourav. In addition, Chhatra League committee members Meherab Hossain Miad and Prant Saha have been appointed as members. When asked about this, Mymensingh Medical College branch Chhatra Dal member secretary Mehedi Hasan told Bangla Tribune, “I don’t want to say anything about it.” However, Mymensingh District Chhatra Dal president Azizul Hakim said, “The Chhatra Dal central committee directly looks into the matter of the Medical College branch Chhatra Dal committee.” If someone from Chhatra League hides information and enters the Chhatra Dal committee, then action will be taken by contacting the leaders of the central committee. Meanwhile, there is discussion and criticism on social media about Chhatra League leaders getting a place in the committee announced by Chhatra Dal of the Medical College branch. Some have raised demands for the committee to be canceled.
