The party has suspended 12 members of the Dhaka Metropolitan North BNP for attacking and protesting at Mirza Fakhrul’s home. ABM A Razzak, secretary for Mahanagar Uttar BNP’s office, confirmed the information on Monday afternoon.
A press release signed by him also mentioned the expulsion order but did not mention the reason for the incident. However, he said that these 12 members were temporarily expelled from all levels, including the main membership, under Article 5 (c) of the Constitution for alleged infringement of party discipline. The order was signed by the President of BNP Dhaka Metropolitan North, the Acting Secretary General and the Senior Vice President.
Those expelled are: Dakshinkhan Thana Vice President of BNP Ful Islam, Dakshinkhan Thana Member of BNP Nazim Uddin Dewan, Dakshinkhan Thana BNP 50th Ward Secretary General Amanullah, Dakshinkhan Thana BNP 50th Ward Organizing Secretary Mokhlech, Dakshinkhan Thana Member of BNP Amjadra East Thana BNP organizer Amjadra Hossain, BNP Islam, Uttarkhan Thana BNP member Nur Mohammad, Uttara Purba Thana BNP Deputy General Secretary MA Hannan Milon, Uttara Purba Thana BNP Organizational Secretary Matiur Rahman Moti, Uttara Purba Thana BNP Habibur Office Secretary Rahman, Uttara Purba Thana Expatriate Welfare Secretary General Abdul Quader Swapan and Harunur, Labor Secretary of Uttara East Thana BNP.
North BNP office secretary ABM A Razzak said they were identified after watching the video.
An investigative committee has been set up against them and if convicted they will be expelled from the party for life, he said.
Kafil Uddin supporters staged a protest in front of Mirza Fakhrul’s house on Saturday against the non-nomination of the desired candidate in the Dhaka-17 by-elections. The protesters attacked his home at the time. BNP Acting President Tarique Rahman and members of the standing committee immediately expressed their anger at the incident. The team made that decision two days later.
BNP chose SM Jahangir from among 9 candidates in the Dhaka-17 constituency by-elections. A senior party leader, who did not want to be named, said the incident was caused by Kafiluddin Ahmed, deputy secretary general of the North BNP, who was seeking the nomination for Jahangir.
