However, Md Aftab Majumdar has been permanently expelled from the post of member of the Chattogram Metropolitan Committee as serious allegations have been raised against him for being involved in activities against the organisation's policies and ideology, in accordance with the party constitution and applicable organisational provisions," the order said.
