The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party has removed Abdus Sattar Bhuiyan, one of the party lawmakers who recently quit from the 11th parliament, from all posts for ‘violating party decisions and engaging in anti-party activities.’
‘BNP Chairperson’s Advisory Council Member Advocate Abdus Sattar has been expelled following his removal from all party posts, including the primary membership as per section 5(c) of the party constitution,’ said a press release signed by BNP acting office secretary Sayed Emran Saleh Prince.
The decision will come into effect immediately, it said.
Party leaders said that the action against Sattar was taken as he bought a nomination paper to contest the by-polls to the Brahmanbaria-2 seat that fell vacant following his resignation as a BNP MP.
Sattar recently resigned from all the posts of the party, including the chairperson’s advisory council member, on personal grounds.
On December 11 last, he resigned from the parliament along with other BNP lawmakers as per the party’s decision.
