FE REPORT | July 08, 2025 00:00:00


After appointing lawyer Shamim Haider Patwari as the new secretary general of the Jatiyo Party, party chairman GM Quader has removed three senior leaders -- Anisul Islam Mahmud, ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader, and Md Mujibul Haque Chunnu -- from all party positions.

Only an hour after Chunnu was removed from the position of secretary general, a press release was sent to the media stating that all three leaders had been dismissed from their posts.

According to a press release from the party's central office, at a party meeting on June 25, district and city-level leaders accused the three-senior co-chairman Anisul, co-chairman Hawlader, and secretary general Chunnu-of breaking party discipline and demanded action.

Then, at a presidium meeting on June 28 last, it was decided to relieve them from all their responsibilities due to those accusations.

Based on this decision and using his authority under the party constitution, GM Quader officially removed them from their positions. The decision has already been enforced.

Just before being removed, two senior leaders - Anisul and Hawlader - issued a statement criticising the appointment of Shamim Haider Patwari as the new secretary general, replacing Chunnu.

They called this decision undemocratic, and a direct violation of the party's constitution.

They also said it was a sign of dictatorship that threatens the very existence of the party.

Later on Monday afternoon, the party issued another notice saying Shamim Haider Patwari had been appointed secretary general by GM Quader, who had removed Chunnu from the post using his constitutional authority.
