After two long decades, the triennial council of Punat Union BNP in Kalai Upazila of Joypurhat has been held.
The chief guest, District BNP convener Golzar Hossain, inaugurated the council by releasing pigeons at the Punat High School grounds at 5 pm on Saturday (July 19).
The council, organized under the chairmanship of Punat Union BNP convener Anisur Rahman Sarkar, was chaired by Upazila BNP convener Ibrahim Hossain Mandal. District BNP joint convener Abdul Wahab was present as a special guest.

Also speaking were Upazila BNP joint convener Rafiqul Islam Chowdhury Tuku, District Zia Parishad president Principal Aminul Islam Bakul, District Jubo Dal convener Shahnewaz Shuvro, District Krishak Dal member secretary Manjure Maula Palash, District Mohila Dal president Parvin Banu Ruli, General Secretary Zaheda Kamal and various BNP leaders from 5 unions in the upazila.
The program was hosted by Shahinur Islam, joint convener of Punat Union BNP.
At the end of the council, the ward leaders present unanimously announced the new committee of Punat Union BNP for the next three years. Anisur Rahman Sarkar was elected as the committee president, Shahinur Islam as the general secretary, and Abdul Hannan as the organizing secretary.
District BNP convener Golzar Hossain said, “We are organizing the party well under the instructions of BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman. Kalai Upazila is a fertile ground for BNP. For the past 17 years, our leaders and activists have been subjected to various tortures. The fascist government did not even allow us to form a union committee. After a long time, this council has brought us a message of hope and strength.”
