Dhaka, September 01 -The BNP has dissolved the convening committee of its Chattogram South District unit. This decision was announced in a press release on Sunday night, September 1.

According to the press release, the committee has been dissolved in line with the party's decision, and no organizational activities can be conducted under the name of Chattogram South District BNP until a new committee is formed.

Three Ctg South BNP leaders Suspended

Earlier, on Saturday, August 31, the BNP issued show-cause notices to three top leaders of the Chattogram South District BNP in connection with their alleged involvement in moving 14 luxury vehicles used by S Alam Group Chairman Saiful Alam Masud and his family from one location to another.

The BNP's Organizing Secretary for Chattogram Division, Mahbubur Rahman Shamim, confirmed the issuance of the notices and stated that the leaders were asked to explain their actions within 24 hours.

The leaders who received the show cause notices from BNP are Chattogram South District BNP Convener Abu Sufian, First Joint Convener Enamul Haque Enam, and Karnaphuli Upazila BNP Convener SM Mamun Mia.

Previously, on the night of August 29, 14 luxury vehicles, including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and Range Rover models, were moved from a warehouse owned by Mir Group in the Kalurghat industrial area.

A video circulated on social media showed Chattogram South District BNP Joint Convener Enamul Haque Enam, Patiya Upazila Jubo Dol Member Secretary Ohidul Alam Chowdhury Piblu, and South District Chhatra Dol Joint Convener Sheikh Mohammad Hossain Nayan overseeing the relocation of the vehicles. They were accompanied by Mansur, the driver of Chattogram South District BNP Convener Abu Sufian.

In another press release, the primary membership and all positions of the south district BNP's former Convenor Abu Sufiyan, Joint Convenor Enamul Haque Enam and Convening Committee member SM Mamun Mia have been suspended. This order will remain in effect until further notice.

The controversy began when it was reported that at least 14 luxury cars were removed from an S Alam Group factory in the Moijjartek area of Chattogram city.

The vehicles were shifted under the alleged supervision of BNP leaders. On August 29 (Thursday) at midnight, the cars were transported from the factory in the Moijjartek area under Karnaphuli Police Station.

This move came after the government announced a ban on the purchase of S Alam's assets and any interference with them. During the vehicle relocation, several BNP leaders, including Enamul Haque Enam, Karnaphuli Thana BNP Convenor SM Mamun Mia, and south district BNP Convenor Abu Sufiyan's driver, were present.
