AL secretariat board recommends permanent expulsion of Jahangir

The Awami League secretariat has recommended the permanent expulsion of former Gazipur City Corporation mayor Jahangir Alam from the party.

At a meeting of the ruling party's secretarial board at the party president's Dhanmondi political office on Sunday, several leaders put forward the demand.

Jahangir Alam was also a former general secretary of Gazipur city unit Awami League.

According to sources, the members of the secretarial board at the meeting said Jahangir Alam is indulging in breaking the party discipline even after receiving the party's pardon.

He is working in the field for his mother even though his candidature is invalid and he also took a stand against the party candidate, they said.

They demanded to bring up the matter with the party president in a meeting soon.

Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif told The Business Standard, "We talked about five city corporation elections in the meeting. The leaders agreed to some decisions which will be conveyed to the right place".

Awami League Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim and Dr Dipu Moni, and Organising Secretaries Ahmed Hossain, BM Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain, Mirza Azam, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel and Sujit Roy Nandi, among others, took part in the meeting.

Jahangir Alam, who was elected mayor of the Gazipur City Corporation from the Awami League in 2018, was suspended from the post of mayor in November 2021 on charges of various irregularities. He was also expelled from the Awami League for breaching party discipline.

Later, he was granted general mercy and reinstated to the party in January this year.

On 30 April, Jahangir's nomination papers for this year's Gazipur city mayoral polls were rejected by the Election Commission (EC) on allegations of loan default. However, his mother Zayeda Khatun is contesting the polls as an independent candidate to race with Awami League nominated Azmat Ullah Khan.
