There’s a contention in the four-party alliance over associating Jukto Front president, Dr Kamal Hossain. Krishak Sramik League’s leader, Kader Siddiqui, has proposed the inclusion of Dr Kamal Hossain.
However, other alliance leaders have not responded favourably to this offer.
Jukto Front sources say, a meeting was held at the residence of Bikalpa Dhara president, A Q M Badruddoza Chowdhury. At the meet, Kader Siddiqui, JSD ROB president, ASM Rob, convener of Nagorik Oikko, Mahmduur Rahman Manna, Mahi B Chowdhury and others were present.
Those who opposed the plan to include Dr Kamal Hossain, said: “when the acclaimed lawyer was notified during the forming of Jukto Front, he did not respond.”
Mahi B Chowdhury told Bangla Tribune: “I along with Mahmudur Rahman Manna will hold a press conference on Friday to share the issues discussed at the meeting.”
Meanwhile, two leading leaders of Jukto Front have said they will not take any new initiative to include Dr Kamal Hossain.
But if Dr Kamal joins on his own volition, he will be welcomed with open arms, they added.
“Kader Siddiqui had always been inactive if he does not come then Jukto Front cannot do anything.”
Kader Siddiqui could not be contacted over phone.
