Gonoforum new committee: Kamal president, Reza secretary

Senior Correspondent: A 111-member new committee of Gonoforum was formed dropping Mostafa Mohsin Montu from the post of party general secretary.

Dr Kamal Hossain was reelected Gonoforum’s president while Reza Kibria made its general secretary.

Gonoforum’s executive president Subrata Chowdhury announced the names of new committee members at a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club on Sunday with Dr Kamal Hossain in presence.

Former state minister for information Dr. Prof Abu Sayeed and Subrata Chowdhury were made party’s executive presidents.

Mostafa Mohsin Montu, who was the general secretary of the party’s previous committee, was made Gonoforum’s number one central committee member.

Gonoforum’s much-talked-about MP Mokabbir Khan was made presidium member of its new committee.

Subrata said they formed the committee following their party’s special council held on April 26.

He said the councilors of the party who joined the council elected Dr Kamal Hossain party president and entrusted him with the responsibility to form the new committee in consultation with senior leaders.

Subrata said the new committee will work for one year to reorganise and strengthen the party. “Our regular council will be held one year later.”

A section of Gonoforum leaders, led by Montu, did not join the party’s special council while its training affairs secretary Rafiqul Islam Pathik boycotted the event protesting Mokabbir Kahn’s presence in it.

Pathik was not given any post in the new committee.

Speaking at the press conference, Dr Kamal hoped that the new committee will work for the ‘restoration’ of democracy and people’s rights.
