BNP expels its lawmaker Zahidur Rahman for taking oath as the member of the 11th parliament, defying the party’s decision.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleges that the government has mounted a pressure on party leader Zahidur Rahman to take oath as a member of the 11th parliament.

In a surprise move, BNP-lawmaker elect Zahidur Rahman took oath as MP yesterday against the party’s decision of not joining parliament.
