Hope of a solid board found in MSC’s April 18 polls
The long-awaited elections of Mohammedan Sporting Golf club Ltd will be held on April 18 with the expectation of electing board of directors, which is expected to revive days gone by glory of the country's traditional outfit.
The elections will be held after nine years, with the first and only 1 so far occurring in 2011 when the club turned into a limited company.
A group of former Mohammedan players, organisers and well-wishers came forwards to greatly help the club to form football and cricket groups following detention of its director-in-demand Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan in September this past year in connection with illegal casino organization at the golf club hall-room.
Bhuiyan, who joined up with the club as specialized general secretary in 1994, strengthened his grip carrying out a one-sided election on 2011 before being built director-in-charge of a 17-member plank of directors. He manipulated the club single-handedly over the last nine years, a timeline when the club didn't win prestigious title of the professional soccer league and the Dhaka premier division cricket league apart from sporadic success in several soccer tournaments such as for example Federation Cup, Super Cup and Independence Cup.
With Supreme Court Bar association president AM Aminuddin appointed as the independent president by a higher Courtroom bench, which passed the order last August following an appeal filed two-and-a-half years earlier, the board of directors on March 15 paved the way to holding its total annual general appointment and the elections by forming a 11-member election commission, with advocate Rezaul Karim Kawser made the principle election commissioner.
In the changed scenario, former players and organisers are looking forward to electing a solid board of directors that will reflect the expectation of its large numbers of supporters in the united states.
"We want a good committee with those who stood by the club during turmoil and who've financial solvency to greatly help Mohammedan in upcoming. We want those organisers who can meet up with the expectation of our large numbers of supporters," said former Mohammedan person Badal Roy, who is playing an important role in this transition.
"I even so believe we can bring back days gone by glory of Mohammedan. It really is obviously that the country's sports will progress if Mohammedan is usually revived once again," said Roy, who is also a vice-president of Bangladesh Football Federation.
However, it might not exactly end up being an easy process for Roy to elect a solid board of directors as he may face concern from the long lasting Mohammedan members, who will be loyal to Bhuiyan.
The club's former additional general secretary Mustaqur Rahman is thinking about a consensus panel if the Bhuiyan followers create any noise.
"We will quickly sit to go over about the probable directors after obtaining the set of voters. The golf club was in deep crisis some time ago, and today we want to elect a solid plank of directors with the mixture of financially solvent organisers and skilled ones as an excellent environment is prevailing right now," explained Rahman, who was simply also out from the club because the 2011 polls.
Even so, incumbent director Sarwar Hossain said, "There is absolutely no probability of a consensus committee because there is not any scope for bowing down to any sort of pressure. Anyone can contest in the elections with the delegates casting their votes freely."
During the transformation in limited company, Mohammedan experienced 213 long term members and the existing board of directors later gave 131 even more memberships.
The election commission is likely to reveal the voters list based on the names supplied by the Registrar of Joint Share Companies and Firms.
