Grassroots BNP leaders and activists in Sunamganj have rejected the newly formed Dirai Upazila and municipal committees, staging a protest rally on Monday night. Supporters of former MP Nasir Uddin Chowdhury and BNP Advisory Committee member Tahir Raihan Pavel Chowdhury led the demonstration, protesting the appointment of Amir Ali as convener. Veteran BNP leaders accused the party of sidelining long-standing, dedicated members who have endured hardships for 17 years.
