Rajshahi BNP welcomes expulsion

In an instant reaction, Rajshahi city Mayor and ruling party lawmaker Mizanur Rahman Minu told Bdnews: "It was a right decision to expel him after he made statements to the media violating party discipline."

Nadim Mustafa, a BNP lawmaker from Rajshahi-4 (Puthia-Durgapur), welcomed the decision and said those engaged in anti-party activities should be expelled.

Ruling party leaders and activists in Abu Hena's constituency in Baghmara-Mohanpur brought out processions to celebrate his expulsion.

Local BNP leaders also reportedly distributed sweetmeats among the people on hearing the news.
