In a major partisan move, BNP 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 issues on Sunday.
Signed by BNP acting office secretary Sayed Emran Saleh Prince, the release said that the decision will come into effect immediately.
Sattar reportedly bought a nomination paper to contest the by-polls to the Brahmanbaria-2 seat that fell vacant following his resignation as a BNP MP on December 11 along with other BNP lawmakers as per the party's decision.
However, he recently resigned from all the posts of the party, including the chairperson's advisory council member, on personal grounds.
