The government today suspended Dhamrai upazila parishad Chairman Md Tamij Uddin, also president of the upazila unit BNP.

The Local Government Division under the LGRD ministry today issued an order saying Tamij Uddin was suspended as a Dhaka court has accepted a sabotage case filed against him on January 11, Syed Shariful Islam, Upazila Nirbahi Officer of Dhamrai, told The Daily Star.

Tamij Uddin, also a member of national executive committee of BNP, could not be reached over phone for his comments despite several attempts, reports our Savar correspondent.

Police said the case was filed with Dhamrai Police Station during a hartal enforced by BNP.
