A faction of the Islami Oikya Jote, led by Mufti Abul Hasanat Amini, was expelled from a dialogue session with the Election Commission (EC) in Dhaka after objections from another faction of the same party. The incident occurred on Sunday morning at the EC’s conference room in Agargaon, where political parties were invited for discussions. The opposing faction, led by Mufti Sakhawat Hossain Raji, accused Amini’s group of supporting past authoritarian regimes and participating in one-sided elections. When EC Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed asked both groups to show their invitation letters, Raji’s faction produced theirs, but Amini’s group failed to present a hard copy. Consequently, the EC asked Amini’s delegation to leave the meeting. Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin and other top officials were present during the incident, which highlighted internal divisions within the religious-based political party.
