Priya Saha expelled from Oikya Parishad

The Hindu Bouddha Christian Oikya Parishad has expelled Priya Saha for breach of organisational discipline in the wake of her contentious claims to US President Donald Trump about the oppression of minorities in Bangladesh, reports bdnews24.com.

The decision came after an emergency meeting of the organisation's standing committee on Monday.

"We decided to temporarily expel one of our organising secretaries, Priya Saha and relieve her of all her organisational duties," said Rana Dasgupta, the head of the council of minorities.

The decision will take effect immediately, he added.
