BNP warns MP Papia

The main opposition BNP has asked its lawmaker Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papia not to participate in any political activities outside her own district, said party sources.
The BNP high command also told her to obey party discipline, otherwise stern disciplinary actions would be taken against her, according to a letter to Papia signed by the party's Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
The letter had been issued Sunday, said sources in the party's central office, adding that earlier a show-cause notice had been served on her. Taking her reply into consideration, the party high command decided to just warn her.
But Papia, who was elected lawmaker to reserved seat for women and also general secretary of Chapainawabganj district unit of BNP, denied of receiving any such letter.
Party insiders said her participation at a meeting in Natore district had created resentment among the district party leaders. They later sought BNP high command's interference about it.
