Chhatra League
Division among the left: Clash of ideology and lust for leadership, or a reality of power?
Some days ago, the leftists organised a road march from Dhaka to Chattogram under the banner of “Anti-Imperialist Patriotic People,” demanding the protection of national resources and sovereignty. The main slogan of the campaign was: “Mother, land, and estuary—we will not hand them over to foreigners.” Leftists played an important role in movements to protect national resources earlier too. The issue requires extensive discussion. It has often been said that during the Liberation War, political leadership was solely in the hands of the Awami League. You may call this an “Awami narrative” if you like, but this is not the only truth of history. The provisional was mainly formed with Awami League leaders, but alongside that government was an advisory committee headed by Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani. The committee also included Comrade Moni Singh, Mozaffar Ahmed, and Congress leader Manoranjan Dhar. All of them were leftists except Manoranjan Dhar. This clearly shows that ignoring the position of leftists would be an injustice to history.
