Narayanganj Metropolitan Awami League President Anwar Hossain declared unwanted, the lock on the gate of the party office is still hanging on the third day. The deposed leaders and activists of the party have complained of devaluing the quitters in the newly announced 17 ward committees. The leaders of the metropolitan Awami League are claiming that the party’s discipline has been broken in this incident.
On Sunday (February 18) at 9 a.m., this scene was seen when visiting the Metropolitan Awami League office in Railgate No. 2 area of the city.
On Saturday evening, it was seen that the main gate of the metropolitan Awami League office located on the second floor of the Awami League office was locked. However, the district Awami League office was open on the ground floor of the building. No activists were seen there at that time.
Earlier, on Friday (February 16) afternoon, the mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation and the former senior vice-president of the district Awami League Dr. Selina Hyatt declared Ivy League president Anwar Hossain undesirable. Expressing his anger in a part of the speech at that meeting, Mayor Ivy said, ‘Our younger brother Epon and Chanchal were made leaders in this ward. They are qualified to be leaders though. But Anwar Kaka (Metropolitan Awami League President) gave this committee with the spirit of revenge. He explains to Devog that whatever he wants will be here. He dishonored the ancestors who led the Awami League. I stand here today and declare him undesirable as a man of deobhog.’
On that day and night, the Awami League office was locked in the city with the leaders and activists led by Sabbir Ahmed Sagar, the general secretary candidate of Ward No. 16. At that time the president declared Anwar Hossain undesirable and he was shouted as ‘Bhua Bhua’.
It is known that on the night of February 12, the committee of 17 wards from 11 to 27 numbers of Metropolitan Awami League was announced. Metropolitan Awami League President Anwar Hossain and General Secretary Khokon Saha announced this committee of Metropolitan Awami League. Since then, the leaders and activists of various levels of the party got angry. He alleged that the party’s tyagi leaders and activists have been kept in the committee minus the controversial ones.

Meanwhile, Awami League office remains locked for the third day. The issue is being discussed and criticized. Ward 16 general secretary candidate Sabbir Ahmed Sagar said that the office will not be locked. This lock will not be opened until instructions are given from the centre. Rajakarputra, Ward Committee has been formed with new leaders. He puts him in the committee who follows the words of the president. Trinamool activists should be evaluated in this position with the intervention of central leaders.
Expressing anger at this incident, Narayanganj Metropolitan Awami League’s organizing secretary GM Arafat said, ‘Committee has been given in 17 wards this time. We do not know many of those who have been brought there to lead. Despite being a resident of ward number 16, I do not know anything about the committee of this ward. Many leaders of our Awami League, including Mayor Ivy, were not informed. It worked terribly. Awami League is no one’s private property. Razakar’s son became the president of the announced committee. This committee cannot be the committee of Awami League. They are trying to bury Bangabandhu’s Awami League. Why are those who have been involved in Awami League politics for a long time deprived? There is anger in every ward about this. I will inform the party’s organizing secretary Mirza Azam about this. I will inform the party’s general secretary Obaidul Quader.
Stating that party discipline has been broken in this incident, Narayanganj Metropolitan Awami League General Secretary Khokan Saha said, ‘If the committee did not like it, they could have said so in the party meeting. But they didn’t do that. It is unconstitutional. The image of the party has been tarnished by their activities. I will explain the matter in the party forum. The matter has already been brought to the notice of the Centre. The team will decide on this. And whoever or those who have locked, they will unlock. Or the party will take action against them.’
Narayanganj Metropolitan Awami League President Anwar Hossain said, ‘I did not announce the committee individually. The general secretary of the party and I announced the committee together. But they are blaming me because of the injury to their interests. Eligible persons are placed in the committee. And the controversial ones were not kept in the committee.
Referring to the anger of Mayor Ivy and the leaders who were locked up, he said, ‘Manowar Hossain Mana was the candidate for the president of ward number 16. His past performance is not good. One of his sons is a BNP politician. He has drowned the politics of Awami League. For this reason, the president made the one who felt good among the 4 candidates as the president. And about this Mana is Mayor Ivy’s uncle. Due to this, the complaint has been made that the interest is hurt. As General Secretary, I did whoever I thought fit. Sagar did not get the post of secretary, I was angry.’
Regarding hanging the lock, he said, ‘This is the Awami League office. Not my personal office. The Awami League party will look into the matter. Awami League is not done by me alone. The party will take action.’
