Jubo Dal expels around 300 leaders, activists: President
Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal has expelled around 300 leaders and activists across the country over allegations of activities contrary to the organisation's ideals and discipline, Jubo Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna said on Wednesday.
The organisation also filed criminal cases against many of them to protect its reputation and organisational discipline, he made the remarks at a press conference held at a city hotel in Nayapaltan.
Munna said the organisation has requested law enforcement agencies to take swift legal action against those responsible for several widely discussed incidents.
He added that, following further investigations, organisational punishments imposed on several individuals had also been withdrawn.
Munna said leaders and activists from Jubo Dal's 82 organisational units across the country played a vital role in the July-August uprising, risking their lives.
He claimed that 78 Jubo Dal activists were martyred during the movement, while hundreds suffered permanent disabilities and thousands were injured, reports UNB.
"No individual or group will be allowed to use the organisation's name to carry out unlawful activities," he said, adding that strict measures have been adopted to prevent anyone from tarnishing the organisation's reputation in the future.
