BNP on Sunday expelled former MP Major (retd) Akhtaruzzaman for violating party discipline.
A press release signed by party assistant office secretary Belal Ahmed said Akhtaruzzaman was expelled from all posts, including primary membership, of the party for his involvement in anti-party activities that went against the party discipline.
A former president of Kishoreganj district unit of BNP, Akhtaruzzaman contested the last general election with BNP’s ticket from the Kishoreganj-2 constituency.
A party senior leader, wishing anonymity, said the action was taken against him for his some recent ‘controversial’ comments against BNP.
In a TV talk show, he said, Akhtaruzzaman described BNP as a shameless and failed party.
Earlier, the ex-BNP MP also made some comments against BNP and its acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
Akhtaruzzaman was elected MP twice in 1991 and 1996 from Kishoreganj-2 seats.
