BANGLADESH NEWS

DHAKA: State Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Advocate Quamrul Islam said the government did not order or interfere to file defamation case against ATN Bangla Chairman Dr Mahfuzur Rahman.

The state minister came up with the assertion over filing case against ATN chief by Juba League leader Abdul Qaiyum while talking to journalist at his secretariat office Wednesday.

“The person, who has filed the case, has done it willingly,” Quamrul said adding, “If anyone is hurt by someone’s comment he or she has right to file defamation case in the court.”

While asked, Quamrul informed, the ‘derogatory comment’ made against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina doesn’t come under the sedition.

Earlier in the day, a defamation case was filed against ATN Bangla Chairman Dr Mahfuzur Rahman for making ‘derogatory comment’ against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Juba League leader Emdadul Haque filed the case with Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court on Wednesday morning.

Mahfuzur Rahman has called Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ‘talkative’ in a programme during his recent visit to London.

He made this comment while recalling PM’s remark that “It is not possible for the government to guard anyone’s bedroom.”
