District Awami League on Friday suspended its three leaders on charges of their involvement in the recent attacks on the Hindu community in Nasirnagar upazila.
The action was taken against Nasirnagar upazila unit AL assistant general secretary and Sadar union parishad chairman Abul Hossain, its Haripur union unit president Faruk Ahmed and Chapoitala union unit president Suruj Ali.
The three AL leaders were suspended following media reports on their involvement in the recent attacks on the houses, temples and business establishments of the Hindu community in Nasirnagar, district AL general secretary AL Mamun Sarker told UNB.
Meanwhile, the district AL formed a five-member committee, headed by its vice-president Helal Uddin, to probe whether the suspended leaders were involved in the attacks.
On October 30, an unruly mob equipped with sharp weapons went berserk and demolished a number of Hindu temples and nearly 100 houses in Nasirnagar upazila following a rumour of a Facebook post demeaning the Holy Kaaba.
