The Bangladesh Awami League's
(AL) central executive committee will decide if Gazipur City AL General
Secretary and Mayor of Gazipur City Corporation Jahangir Alam Sarkar is guilty
of violating organizational discipline.
The meeting, which will take
place at 4 p.m. at Ganobhaban in the city, will be presided over by Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, according to
party General Secretary Obaidul Quader.
Jahangir Alam had previously
been served with a show-cause notice signed by Obaidul Quader, which he had
already answered to.
A four-minute video of Mayor
Jahangir making disrespectful remarks about Bangabandhu and certain martyred
independence warriors during a function went viral on social media on September
22.
According to the mayor, the
electronically modified film was used as propaganda against him by conspirators
and anti-election groups.
Meanwhile, in Gazipur, the
local AL's anti-mayor section resumed their rallies, asking that he be punished
for his words.
