Nazmul Huda returning to BNP

DHAKA, Sept 24: Former Communications Minister Barrister Nazmul Huda is returning to his previous party Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

According to BNP sources, after receiving conformation from BNP he announced the “abolition” of the controversial Bangladesh Nationalist Front (BNF) as its founder. Sources said very soon he would meet BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.

On Monday Nazmul Huda came up with the announcement of abolition of BNF at a press conference at his Topkhana Road office in the city.

“I’d founded this organisation and I myself announce its abolition,” Huda said though he himself was expelled from it earlier.

On June, 6, 2012, Huda resigned from BNP in protest against party chief Khaleda Zia’s failure to engage in talks with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as per his proposal.

After the announcement of BNF’s abolition, Huda claimed that he is still a BNP member as its chairperson did not accept his resignation letter. I was with BNP and still with it. It’s not that much easy to weaken my position in BNP.”

Huda, also a former MP of Dohar, said he will seek nomination from BNP to contest the next election with BNP’s election symbol, the sheaf of paddy.
