On the afternoon of October 10, more than 100 leaders and activists gathered in front of the Uttara residence of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. He noticed the Secretary General’s house and threw bricks and eggs. They protested against the party nomination of Juba Dal leader, SM Jahangir, in the Dhaka-17 constituency.

The day before, on October 9, the party’s general secretary nominated HM Jahangir, Chairman of Mahanagar Uttar of Juba Dal, for the Dhaka-17 constituency at a press conference. 7 more party candidates awaited a nomination in that seat. All those who have been expelled are believed to be supporters of M. Kafil Uddin, Mahanagar Uttar BNP’s deputy secretary and candidate. However, Kafil Uddin himself told banglanews that he knew nothing about it.

Although party leaders were expelled in connection with the attack on the secretary-general’s home, Saturday’s standing committee meeting alleged that the government was assisting in the incident. At a press conference on Sunday, the party’s deputy general secretary, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, also blamed the government for the attack. However, the matter came to light after the expulsion of the party leaders.
