Before this, the hearing of the rule issued on the validity of the temporary dismissal of Jahangir Alam from the post of mayor of Gazipur City Corporation on March 15 started.

Jahangir Alam, who was temporarily suspended from the post of mayor of Gazipur City Corporation on August 14 last year, filed a writ in the High Court to get his post back. The writ challenged the legal validity of his suspension. Barrister Moshiur Rahman Sabuj filed this writ on behalf of Jahangir Alam.

The ruling Awami League expelled Jahangir Alam from the party for making controversial comments about Bangabandhu and the martyrs of the liberation war. After this Jahangir Alam was dismissed from the post of Mayor of Gazipur City Corporation by the Ministry of Local Government. 

However, Awami League later returned Jahangir Alam to the party.

In the 2018 Gazipur City Corporation election, Jahangir Alam won the mayor's post with a large number of votes in the boat symbol as a candidate of Awami League.
