Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has stated that it is monitoring media and social media reports involving Gazi Nazrul Islam, the Member of Parliament for Satkhira-4 and a Jamaat leader. The party said it will collect factual information and take necessary action according to its organizational rules. The issue has drawn attention after a video featuring the MP and a young woman circulated online.

The report raises the question of whether Gazi Nazrul Islam would lose his parliamentary seat if expelled from Jamaat. According to parliamentary precedent, an MP’s seat may be canceled if the party formally requests the Speaker to revoke it following expulsion. However, if only organizational positions are withdrawn without such a request, the seat usually remains. The article cites past examples involving MPs from the Awami League and Jatiya Party to illustrate this distinction.

Gazi Nazrul Islam has issued a statement claiming the woman seen in the video is his second wife, married with the consent of his first wife. Local Jamaat leaders have echoed this explanation.
