MALDA, 30 JULY: The general members of the Intuc are apparently unaware of who the district president of the Malda Intuc is.
Trouble broke out on 27 July when the working president of the Malda Intuc, Mr Kazi Najrul Islam, informed the district Congress leadership that the state Intuc president had ‘nominated’ him as district president.
On the other hand, Mr Narendranath Tiwari was supposedly nominated as district president of the Intuc after the murder of the district Intuc president, Biswanath Guho.
Three Congress leaders left for Kolkata on 28 July to meet Mr Subrata Mukherjee to clear doubts on who the true district Intuc president is. Mrs Sabina Yeasmin, sabahdhipati of Malda zilla parishad, Mrs Sabitri Mitra, MLA of Kharba, Mr Asit Bose, another Congress leader and Mr Tiwari himself have been camping in Kolkata.
Mr Kazi Najrul Islam, who was the working president of the district Intuc, claimed that the state Intuc president had nominated him as president and showed an authorised letter ‘signed’ by Mr Subrata Mukherjee.
In the authorised letter it was also mentioned that Mrs Lakhi Guho, widow of Biswanath Guho, would function as working president.
“After taking charge as district president, Mr Tiwari did nothing for the labourers and did not hold any meeting with them. Due to his poor performance which has weakened labour organisations, the state president has finally selected me as district president. We have an authorised letter signed by Mr Subrata Mukherjee,” said Mr Kazi Najrul Islam.
“I am the district president. The letter which Mr Islam showed is ‘vague'. Mr Mukherjee did not put his signature in that letter. Only the state president can appoint the district president. But in that letter a panel was made including the working president,” said Mr Tiwari, after meeting with Mr Subrata Mukherjee in Kolkata today.
“Tomorrow I will come back to Malda and show the authorised letter as the district president,” said Mr Tiwari.
“I have heard that both Mr Islam and Mr Tiwari have been claiming the position of district president.
The matter is unclear. But it is a fact that many leaders were unhappy over Mr Tiwari's political performance,” said the Congress MLA, Mr Krishnendu Choudhury.
Mr Tiwari is also chairman of English Bazaar Municipality, district youth president, general secretary of the district Congress and had become the district Intuc president.
A group of Congress leaders are apprehending a clash between the two groups of Intuc leadership over the right to its office located at Rathbari.
