ituation. To resist such a situation AL is giving stress on reorganising the party. Directives have been issued to complete conferences and councils of the party at all district, upazila, union and ward levels by December next. A letter relating to this signed by AL general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam has been sent on Monday to the presidents and secretaries of the party’s 73 organisational districts and the upazilas, unions and wards therein. Deputy-office secretary Mrinal Kanti Das has confirmed this to the news media. Besides, the leaders of some organisational districts also have admitted the reception of the letters. Opposition politicians as well as some leaders of AL itself, its leftist allies and Jatiya Party leaders and analysts think that the anti-government movement will start from the next January. The month of January 2015 will be turbulent in Bangladesh politics, they think. Besides, in a recent meeting of 20-party alliance BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has asked the alliance partners to take preparations for mid-term polls. When wanted to know about this, BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that before January 5 election AL had said that it was an election of formality. They promised to hold another election to be participated by all immediately after the January 5 polls. But later AL leaders backtracked from their promise. Now normal situation will not retun to the country if another election is not held. About BNP’s movement after one year of AL rule Mirza Fakhrul said “We are already amid movement. But the movement will be stronger in the days ahead.” He further said the situation indicates that AL is preparing for another election without BNP. Cases are being filed one after another against our leaders, trial also has started against some leaders. Doing this things they are preparing for another one sided election. But as much as elections are held without country’s main political force that will not be able to resolve the crisis, he added. On Monday, a letter signed by Syed Ashraful Islam was sent to 73 organisational districts. The letters addressed to upazilas, wards and union parishads were sent through district committees. Many district leaders reportedly have received the letters. Initiates are being taken in furtherance of the letter, said presidents and general secretaries of some districts. The letter reads: “A meeting of Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) and Awami League Advisory Council (ALAC) presided over by party’s president Sheikh Hasina decided to recruit new members, renew old membership and hold councils from grass-roots to district level immediately. Ten teams were formed comprising the members of advisory council, presidium and central working committee to supervise the holding of conferences, councils and organisational activities at level properly.” Syed Ashraf, in his latter, also said there is no alternative to enhance the organisational strength of the party to face the challenge of the coming days. Leaders of several organisational districts said the letter urged the party’s ranks and files to be united to resist any kind of atrocity and violence of BNP and Jamaat-Shibir. Meanwhile, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia went to Nilphamari on Thursday to collect public support for her party. Momtazul Islam, Awami League general secretary of Nilphamari, admitted to have received the letter sent by Syed Ashraful Islam. He sent the letter to presidents of the district, upazila, ward and union parishad units for holding conference as soon as possible. “The letters received by us will be sent to all concerned. Besides, a letter from the district is going to be sent to them,” he said. The BNP-led 20 party alliance is optimistic about midterm polls. Leaders of the party think the government will be bound to hold midterm election next year. Before January 5 polls, ruling Awami League told UN Assistant Secretary-General Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, BNP and other people at home and abroad concerned that the election was going to be held for continuance of the constitutional provision. After the election, AL started to say that it is set to rule the country for 5 years. The ruling party further said election will not be held before 2019. One year anniversary of AL government will be held in January next year. BNP-Jamaat alliance is determined to wage such a tough movement that the government will give in to their pressure for midterm polls. BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia asked the allies to take preparation to this effect.

As part of this, Jatiya Party started to work. JP held biennial conference in Khagrachhari. Conference of Sramik party and Olema party is slated for tomorrow (Sunday) and Tuesday. Meanwhile, JP will organise Eid reunion on October 30.

Asked about midterm polls, caretaker government adviser and political analyst MM Shawkat Ali said the government is under pressure from home and abroad to hold a midterm poll. The EU and the USA are insisting on the government in this regard. The government is under pressure for not having a strong opposition. The Awami League claimed that it has taken initiative by issuing letters for reorganising the party which is routine activities of the party. But these are not done to resist opposition’s movement. When asked, AL Presidium Member, Nuh-ul-Alam Lelin, told this correspondent, “There is no relation with District and upazila conferences of Awami League with BNP’s movement. Councils and conferences are the routine work of the party. In every three years central council of AL is completed. We want to complete conference of all units before central council.” Ten teams were formed at a joint meeting of AL Central Working Sangsad and Advisory Parishad in a bid to complete conferences and councils of the party across the country at Ganabhaban in the city in September last.
