After a video of a 'personal moment' spread on social media, Jamaat-e-Islami expelled Ghazi Nazrul Islam from the party on 22 July. The next day, they formally informed the Speaker of the National Parliament and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) via a letter. In the letter, necessary measures were requested regarding Ghazi Nazrul Islam.
