Mr. Anwar Ali, one of the organizers of Liberation
Mr. Anwar Ali, one of the organizers of the Liberation War and the first member of the Nucleus from Kushtia, was born in 1944 into a respectable Muslim family at Aruapara under Kushtia pourashava (municipality). His father was Monoar Ali, and his mother was Nurjahan Begum.
Anwar Ali is the eldest of six brothers and three sisters. His education began at his own home. From early childhood he drew everyone's attention in studies, sports and social service. He was a good cricketer. He passed his matriculation from Mohini Mohan Bidyapith and passed his IA from Kushtia College.
During his student life he became involved in many movements and would leap forward to protest injustice. From 1962 to 1970, Anwar Ali was the lone fighting soldier against the NSF, and he went to jail and custody for protesting injustice. He therefore passed his BA from Rajbari College, and while studying for his MA at Dhaka University he played the role of an organizer of the Liberation War. As an active member of the Nucleus he went to jail and custody and faced many untoward incidents.
From his childhood he was an ideal young man. In 1989-91 he was elected chairman of Kushtia pourashava (municipality) for the first time by an overwhelming vote. Upon being elected chairman he devoted himself to the development of all kinds of infrastructure across the municipal area — including most of its industrial establishments, sports and cultural organizations — as well as to social service and works of public welfare. During the 1993-98 term he was again elected chairman of Kushtia pourashava, and he built the municipality's roads and drains and shaped it into a beautiful town.
In 2004 he set a record by being elected again. Before him, Harish Chandra and M. A. Rahim had each been elected chairman twice, while Anwar Ali was elected chairman three times. Mr. Anwar Ali was the general secretary of the Bangladesh Awami League and a member of its national committee. In the Awami League's darkest hours he took risks with his own life and kept the Kushtia Awami League on its feet.
He restored the Tagore Lodge of the world poet Rabindranath Tagore and built an Old Home there. He shaped Kushtia pourashava as if it were his own child. Mr. Anwar Ali published the weekly Parikrama newspaper from Kushtia.
