The district leaders postponed the scheduled meet as the list of councilors was not finalised due to internal feud, party insiders told this correspondent.

Earlier, the council was scheduled to be held on October 1, but it was postponed due to intra-party conflict. Later, the new date of the council was announced on October 10.

Party insiders said, because of internal feud, the list of councilors could not be finalised. But it is essential to select or elect new leaders in the council.

Party sources said to The Daily Star, the leaders and activists are divided into two groups, one backed by Abdul Hai MP, and the other by former organising secretary Tayeb Ali Joarder. Both the leaders want their own men in the new district committee.

The internal feud surfaced last year when two rival factions clashed at the upazila and union level party councils.

However, the district AL convener Abdul Hai said, there is no internal feud in the party. There is rivalry over leadership, he said 'A new date of the council will be announced soon,' he said.

Postponement of party council twice in last 15 days have frustrated its dedicated leaders and activists.

The last council was held in 1997 where a committee was formed with Advocate Ayub Hossain and Abdul Hai as president and general secretary.
