Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis has expelled Maulana Khairul Islam Thakur, its initially nominated candidate for the Kishoreganj-4 constituency, on allegations of violating party discipline. The decision was announced on Thursday by the party’s Secretary General, Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad, under Article 30 of the party constitution. Thakur has been temporarily removed from his primary membership and all organizational responsibilities.

The party also issued strict instructions to all leaders and activists at every level to refrain from maintaining any electoral or organizational contact with Thakur. According to a press release, the directive takes immediate effect to uphold party discipline, ideology, and central decisions.

The statement further clarified that Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis currently has no recognized candidate for the Kishoreganj-4 (Austagram–Itna–Mithamain) constituency. Under the mutual understanding of the 11-party electoral alliance, this seat has been allocated to Jamaat-e-Islami.
