Jubo Mohila League, an associate body of the Awami League, expelled her following her arrest on Feb 22. She ordered her [Papia’s] arrest and trial after investigation,” the ruling party general secretary said. Quader denied claims that Papia continuing with her activities amidst a government crackdown on all sorts of crimes, especially illegal gambling, extortion, and tender rigging by ruling party cohorts pulled the clean-up operation into question. The Awami League leader said the party would discuss changing Jubo Mohila League leadership in closed-door meetings. The organisation’s council to elect new leaders is also due in March, he pointed out.
