Four leaders of the BNP, Jubo Dal, and Swechchhasebak Dal have been expelled following an attack on teachers at Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) who were protesting against the vice-chancellor. The expulsions were announced on Monday afternoon through separate letters and press releases issued by the central leadership of the respective organizations.

According to the announcements, Bashir Uddin, treasurer of Dumki Upazila BNP, was expelled for alleged involvement in violence and breach of party discipline. Ahsan Faruk and Sultan Shawkat, joint conveners of the upazila Jubo Dal, were expelled for disciplinary violations, while Musa Farazi, joint convener of the upazila Swechchhasebak Dal, was removed for similar reasons. The central bodies also urged authorities to take legal action against the accused.

Earlier that morning, teachers demanding the removal of Vice-Chancellor Dr. Kazi Rafiqul Islam over alleged irregularities were attacked by a group led by expelled Jubo Dal leader Ripon Sharif, leaving at least ten teachers injured. Police said no written complaint had yet been received but promised legal action once filed.
