A Labour Party leader in Babuganj upazila of Barishal has been served a show-cause notice for a social media post supporting an Awami League leader. The notice was issued on Saturday, March 28, 2026, by the upazila unit of the Labour Party after Jahidul Islam Opu, convener of the Kedarapur Union Labour Party, expressed on Facebook his wish to see former union chairman and Awami League member Md. Nure Alam Bepari as chairman candidate again.

According to party sources, the post was deemed contrary to the organisation’s principles and ideals. The notice, signed by upazila Labour Party president Md. Farid Hossain and acting general secretary Mizanur Rahman Mintu, directed Opu to submit a written explanation within three days. It also warned that organisational action would be taken if his response was unsatisfactory.

The upazila Labour Party president confirmed the issuance of the notice, and the incident has sparked considerable discussion in the local political arena.
