RANGPUR, Oct 16, 2021 (BSS) - Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi has
said if anyone goes beyond the party's decision and becomes a rebel
against the boat, he will be expelled from the party.
"The leaders and workers of Awami League (AL) and its associate
bodies should work together on behalf of the party nominated candidate
in the upcoming union parishad (UP) elections," he said.
Tipu said this while addressing an extended meeting with leaders
and workers of Pirgachha upazila AL at Apu Munshi Cold Storage
Foundation auditorium in Nabdiganj area here on Saturday afternoon as

Advocate Rezaul Karim Raju, Joint General Secretary Mazed Ali Babul,

you will take a stand against the nominated candidate of the party. It
will not be accepted. If anyone does so, he will be expelled with
deprivation of all privileges of the party."
He said the decision taken by the party in the UP elections should
be respected. Now, the internal division must be forgotten and remain
united in the interest of development of the area.
"Remember, the victory of the boat means victory of development," he said.
Addressing those deprived of nomination, Tipu said, "Many people
may have grief over nomination. But, we all work for the party and the
country. So, in the interest of the country, we have to be united in
favour of the boat."
