AL pardons former GCC mayor Zahangir Alam

Bangladesh Awami League pardoned Jahangir Alam, former general secretary of Gazipur city unit Awami League, said a letter sent to him from the party.

The letter signed by AL‍‍`s general secretary Obaidul Quader said the party‍‍`s central executive committee announces general forgiveness to the applicants who sought apology in condition of not involving any anti-ideology and anti-organisation activities in the future.

As per the party policy, you (Jahangir Alam) are also pardoned, read the letter.

However, any anti-ideology or anti-organisation activities in the future will be considered unforgivable, it said.

Earlier, Jahangir, former mayor of Gazipur City Corporation, was first expelled from the party in November 2021 after a video clip of him making derogatory remarks about Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and expressing doubts about the numbers of martyrs in the Liberation War went viral in social media.
