Widely discussed Awami League leader and Laxmipur union chairman Selim Khan has been expelled from the party.
Chandpur district Awami League at an extended meeting removed the criticized chairman, who excavated sands illegally from the Meghna River, from his post on Saturday.
Nasir Uddin Ahmad, president of Laxmipur union Awami League confirmed the matter to UNB.
Party sources said Selim Khan has been expelled from the party permanently for tarnishing the image of the party.
Earlier on May 29, the Appellate Division canceled the High Court judgement allowing Selim Khan to extract sand from the Meghna River in Chandpur.
