Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal has expelled around 300 leaders and activists across the country over allegations of activities that violated the organisation's discipline and ideals, its President Abdul Monayem Munna said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a press conference at a hotel in Nayapaltan, Munna said the organisation had also filed criminal cases against many of those expelled to protect its reputation and maintain organisational discipline.
He said Jubo Dal had requested law enforcement agencies to take swift legal action against those involved in several widely discussed incidents.
Munna added that, following further investigations, disciplinary action against several individuals had been withdrawn after a review of the cases.
He also highlighted the role of Jubo Dal members during the July-August uprising, saying leaders and activists from the organisation's 82 organisational units across the country had risked their lives during the movement.
According to him, 78 Jubo Dal activists were martyred during the uprising, while hundreds suffered permanent disabilities and thousands were injured.
"No individual or group will be allowed to use the organisation's name to carry out unlawful activities," he said, adding that strict measures had been put in place to prevent anyone from damaging the organisation's reputation in the future.
