The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has reinstated eight leaders who were previously expelled for violating party discipline and acting against its policies and ideals. The decision was announced on Sunday through a press release signed by the party’s Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. The reinstated members include former leaders from Sunamganj, Sylhet, and Mymensingh districts, as well as from Fulbaria municipality.

According to the press release, the individuals had earlier been removed from all party positions, including primary membership, for disciplinary breaches. Following their appeals, the party decided to withdraw the expulsion orders and restore their primary memberships. The statement also mentioned that Rina Talukdar, former joint general secretary of the Sunamganj district women’s wing, had her release order revoked and was reinstated as a primary member.

The announcement reflects an internal reconciliation effort within the BNP, signaling a move to strengthen organizational unity by bringing back previously disciplined members through formal party procedures.
