A father in Tungipara, Gopalganj, has publicly disowned his son due to his alleged involvement with the banned student political group, the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL). Abdul Wahab Sheikh, 65, announced his decision at a press conference held at a furniture store on Monday night. He declared his son a “forsaken son” citing his political affiliations as unacceptable. Sheikh also stated his own political allegiance lies with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), a rival political organization. The father, a resident of GowharDanga village, took the drastic step to publicly distance himself from his son’s political activities. This incident highlights tensions arising from differing political views within families in the region. No further details regarding the son’s response were immediately available.
