The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has suspended all party positions of Sahab Uddin, President of the Companiganj Upazila BNP in Sylhet, following allegations of extortion, illegal land grabbing, and engaging in multiple unethical activities in violation of party principles and ideology.
The announcement was made late on Monday, 11 August, at around 11:30 pm, via the BNP’s verified Facebook page. It came in the form of an official statement signed by Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Senior Joint Secretary General of the BNP Central Committee.
