BNP Leader Given Chhatra Dal Committee Post Three Years After His Death at 72

❐ District Representative

There have been allegations that a person who died three years ago has been named as the vice-president of the newly announced 32-member full committee of Feni’s Fulgazi Upazila Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal. Shamsul Huda Majumder, who died at the age of 72, has been named as the fifth vice-president of the committee.

Questions have been raised in the local political arena regarding the formation of the committee, the screening and approval process of candidates. There is also discussion among the locals about the past political involvement of Nayeem Uddin Api, who was the first member of the same committee.

On August 17, a notification signed by Feni District Chhatra Dal President SM Salah Uddin Mamun and General Secretary Morshed Alam Milon announced the 32-member full committee of Fulgazi Upazila Chhatra Dal. Shamsul Huda Majumder is named as the fifth vice-president in that committee.

However, the family claims that Shamsul Huda Majumder died on November 6, 2023, at the age of about 72. That is, he was given an important position in the Chhatra Dal Upazila Committee announced on August 17, 2026, almost three years after his death.

According to local sources, Shamsul Huda Majumder was a resident of Purba Darbarpur village in Darbarpur union of Fulgazi upazila. His son Farhad Hossain Majumder is the president of Darbarpur union Chhatra Dal and a member of the convening committee of the upazila Chhatra Dal.

Farhad Hossain Majumder expressed surprise at seeing his father’s name in the full committee of the Upazila Chhatra Dal.

He said, “I was surprised to see my late father’s name in the committee. I don’t know how an important committee like the upazila was announced in a hurry without any scrutiny. Such an incident happened while forming the committee in a hurry.”

According to Farhad, his father died in November 2023. Even then, he could not explain how his name came to be on the Chhatra Dal committee in 2026.

Not only have locals raised questions about the inclusion of the deceased’s name, but also about the past political identity of Nayeem Uddin Api, the first member of the announced committee.

Local political sources claim that Nayeem Uddin Opi was involved in Chhatra League politics before August 5. The source also claimed that he was seen in various Chhatra League programs, meetings and processions at the union level.

However, Nayeem Uddin Opi’s statement regarding the allegations of his involvement with the Chhatra League was not available. As a result, it was not possible to independently confirm the questions raised about his past political identity and current organizational position in the Chhatra Dal.

Regarding the complaint, Feni District Chhatra Dal President SM Salah Uddin Mamun said that everyone’s CVs were taken before announcing the committee and the committee was announced after scrutinizing them.

He said on his mobile phone, “Everyone’s CVs were taken before announcing the committee. The committee was announced after scrutinizing the CVs. We are investigating how the name of the elderly person came to the committee.”

As a result, the question now arises, if the CVs of the candidates were verified before the committee was announced, how did the name of Shamsul Huda Majumdar, who died in 2023, get included in the 2026 committee? At the same time, it is not clear whether the organization came to the attention of Nayeem Uddin Api’s past political involvement during the verification process.

The district Chhatra Dal president admitted to including the deceased person’s name in the announced committee and said that he would look into it. Only after the investigation will it be known whether the deceased person’s name was included in the committee by mistake or there was some other error in the verification and selection process.
