Ganoforum serves notice on MP Mokabbir over taking oath

Ganoforum has served a show-cause notice on its presidium member Mokabbir Khan seeking an explanation on his decision to take oath as an MP, reports bdnews24.com
He has been given 10 days to respond to two complaints over his defiance of the party's orders against taking oath in parliament.
Mokobbir was the only Ganoforum candidate to be elected to parliament under the party's 'rising sun' symbol after winning the Sylhet-2 seat in the 11th national election.
The party had decided to serve notice a week ago but was moved to do so now after a section of Ganoforum leaders and activists were irked by Mokobbir's presence on stage next to Kamal Hossain during the party's special council on Friday.
On Saturday, a special messenger of the party handed the notice signed by Ganoforum General Secretary Mostafa Mohsin Montu to Mokobbir, the party office said.
A copy was sent by post too.
The Ganoforum went to the elections under the umbrella of the BNP's Jatiya Oikya Front alliance which had decided not to join parliament alleging widespread irregularities, including vote rigging.
Another Ganoforum leader, Sultan Mohammed Mansur Ahmed, was elected MP and subsequently took oath of office before being expelled. Sultan fought with the BNP's paddy sheaf symbol.
