Break ties with two forums
Proshika asks Faruque
Staff Correspondent
The governing body of Proshika, a non-government organisation, has asked its president Qazi Faruque Ahmed to disassociate himself from two civil society forums in the greater interest of the organisation.After repeated police raids on Proshika headquarters and attacks on its other branches, the governing body held an emergency meeting on Tuesday night in Dhaka and asked Faruque to disassociate himself from Oikyabaddha Nagorik Andolon and Jatiya Oikya Mancha. Mahbubul Karim, senior vice-president of the NGO, told The Daily Star last night that the governing body took the stand to erase the negative perception centring Faruque's involvement in various civil society movements. "Eight of nine-member governing body, including Qazi Faruque Ahmed, were present at the meeting chaired by Abdul Wadud. He (Faruque) immediately accepted the board's decision," said Karim.
