Three leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its student wing Chhatra Dal have been suspended over the attack on the vehicle of Jamaat lawmaker, Netrakona 5, Masum Mostafa.

The suspended leaders are Purbadhala upazila BNP joint convener Ishtiaq Ahmed Babu, upazila Chhatra Dal member secretary Saju Ahmed and former joint convener Solaiman Kabir.

They were suspended through separate party notices issued on Sunday, district Chhatra Dal president Anik Mahbub Chowdhury said on Monday.

Ishtiaq Ahmed Babu has been suspended from all posts, including primary membership, of the BNP on charges of involvement in terrorism, violence and activities against party discipline, said a notice.

Besides, Chhatra Dal central committee said that Saju Ahmed was suspended while Solaiman Kabir was removed from primary membership for breaching organisational discipline.

Party leaders have also been instructed to sever all organisational ties with the suspended members.

On Friday evening, the car of Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker Masum Mostafa came under attack at Purbadhala.

People of the area and witnesses said that a group of people attacked the vehicle when the MP went to Atkapara Petrol Pump beside the Birishiri road to refuel and briefly confined him.

Jamaat leaders alleged that BNP men were involved in the attack, saying that they vandalised the vehicle and attempted to assault the lawmaker.
