LETTER TO ABDUL MANNAN BHUIYAN
Despite a ban on politics even on indoor politics amid the state of emergency, you have been holding meetings in your Gulshan residence for some days with the so-called reformist leaders and have been expressing many opinions to the media against the interest of the party and on the so-called reforms. You have disclosed to the media some internal affairs of the party without any approval from the council, standing committee, or the chairperson.
Your actions are a conspiracy to split the party and against the party's discipline, ideology, constitution, interest, and policies.
As the party chair, I cannot remain a silent witness to these activities. And that is why, to uphold the discipline, unity, and the interest of the party, I am removing you from the post of the secretary general and expelling you from the party by cancelling your primary membership following section 5 (Ga) and 8 (Kha) (2) of the party constitution.
This order will be effective immediately.
LETTER TO KHONDOKAR DELWAR HOSSAIN

I am requesting party leaders and activists of all levels to cooperate with him.
This appointment will be effective immediately.
