The Sirajganj district unit of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has suspended all party positions of two local leaders following allegations of voter intimidation and assault in the Sirajganj-5 (Belkuchi-Chauhali) parliamentary constituency. The decision was announced late Sunday night through two letters signed by district BNP office secretary Tanvir Mahmud Palash.

The suspended leaders are Mostafizur Rahman Mondal, former general secretary of Ward No. 4 of Belkuchi municipality BNP, and Shihab Mondal, organizational secretary of the Belkuchi municipal branch of the Nationalist Cyber Team. According to the letters, the suspensions were issued due to cases filed against them for violating party discipline and engaging in threats and assaults with local weapons after the 13th national parliamentary election. The decision was approved by district BNP president Rumana Mahmud and general secretary Saidur Rahman Bacchu.

The action reflects the district BNP’s attempt to address internal discipline issues following the recent election period.
