Latif also axed from AL Presidium

Hours after his removal from the cabinet, Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) on Sunday expelled Abdul Latif Siddique from the party presidium for hurting the religious sentiment of Muslims and acting against the party constitution. The unanimous decision came from an ALCWC meeting held in the evening at the PM’s official residence Ganobhaban with AL President Sheikh Hasina in the chair. AL General Secretary and LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam briefed reporters after the meeting, according to a news agency.
