The BNP has launched a sweeping internal crackdown on members involved in extortion, land grabbing, and factional clashes. Many of these wrongdoers are linked to so-called "hybrid" and infiltrated individuals allegedly backed by rival political groups. Over 5,000 activists have been expelled and 1,000 show-caused so far. The party aims to restore its image and integrity by removing those tarnishing its reputation. Organizational and legal actions are being taken regardless of rank or influence, with a zero-tolerance policy in place.
