Noman Ibne Sabit: The Federation of Bangladeshi Associations in North America (FOBANA) has once again become active in an anti-Fobana maneuver centered around the life of Bangladeshis living in the United States. According to a press release, the insidious groups is trying to create confusion among the expatriate Bangladeshis in the United States by spreading various kinds of propaganda by showing the new convener of Fobana by involving the present Central Committee.
The statement signed by Fobana Chairman Rehan Reza and Executive Secretary Masud Rob Chowdhury, said that fake news about Fobana’s new ad hoc committee was spread by some media outlets last Thursday (June 2) by some opponents of Fobana and Fobana Central Committee, which is by no means true. And by unconstitutionally disrespecting Fobana’s rules, this malpractice is being carried out to tarnish Fobana’s reputation and create division in Fobana.
The people who were expelled from the Fobana Central Committee meeting on Sunday, May 29, for their unacceptable behavior, were treated in accordance with Fobana’s rules for their misconduct. So, in their despicable desire for revenge, those individuals are spreading propaganda against the Central Committee and the constitution of Fobana to form a new convening committee and are trying in vain to confuse the common people. Those who have the audacity to form a new convening committee by unconstitutionally presenting issues such as the abolition of the Fobana Central Committee were also at one time the main leaders of Fobana through media coverage. It is astonishing to think that all the organizations that participated in their conspiracy meeting or the numbers mentioned are completely false and untrue. We would like to draw the attention of all to the fact that the Central Committee of Fobana is still in force in accordance with the constitution of Fobana and the present Central Committee of Fobana will continue to play a steadfast role in continuing all the activities of Fobana.
Note that the 36th Fobana Conference is going to be held on September 2-4 this year in Chicago, Illinois. The host organization is ‘Bangladesh Associations of Chicagoland’. The Fobana authorities urged the media not to be misled by the false information and news of the anti-Fobana conspiracy in the media.
