In a bid to strengthen its base in the state, Samajwadi Party (SP) on Saturday roped in former All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) working president and prominent minority community leader Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury as the party's state unit president.
Party general secretary Kironmoy Nanda and national secretary Kamal Faruqui were present when Choudhury was inducted into SP. Choudhury, who left AIUDF following differences with the party leadership ahead of the assembly polls last year, will form a new executive committee within a month and launch a state-wide membership drive. He will work for fostering ties between different communities in the state.
Kamalesh Deka and Ratul Choudhury have been appointed as vice-president, while Sanjib Dutta and A F Nasiruddin Mullah have been appointed as general secretary and secretary respectively.
"I left AIUDF because of ideological differences. I found SP as a party which can take along people from different communities. There are Muslims, Dalits and people from other communities in SP. And with this spirit, I will work to build trust and confidence among diverse communities in the state," said Choudhury.
He added that his priority is to work in Bodoland Territorial Area District to help maintain communal harmony among different ethnic groups through dialogue. Chodhury, a veteran lawyer, dubbed the white paper on the foreigners' issue as diversionary tactics of the state government to divert people's attention from the main issue.
