The Shahjadapur Union BNP committee in Sarail upazila of Brahmanbaria has been suspended for allegedly campaigning for independent candidate Rumin Farhana against the BNP-led alliance nominee in the Brahmanbaria-2 (Sarail-Ashuganj) constituency. The decision was announced Wednesday night through a press release signed by upazila BNP office secretary A.B.M. Salauddin, citing violations of party discipline and disregard for central directives. All activities of the 71-member committee will remain halted until further notice.

Earlier, six leaders from the Shahbazpur Union BNP, including its general secretary, were expelled for similar disciplinary breaches. These consecutive actions have sparked widespread discussion within the local BNP. Party and local sources said most Shahjadapur BNP leaders had joined Rumin Farhana’s campaign after the election announcement, ignoring repeated internal warnings.

Sarail upazila BNP president Anisul Islam stated that the suspension aims to uphold party discipline and may be reconsidered if members pledge to follow party decisions. The move has drawn mixed reactions among local activists, with some viewing it as necessary discipline and others as deepening internal division.
