A court on Wednesday fixed March 3 to submit the probe report over sedition cases lodged against acting secretary-general of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish Maolana Muhammad Mamunul Haque, Islami Andalan Bangladesh Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Faizul Karim and Hefajat-e-Islam Ameer Junayed Babunagari, for making anti-sculpture remarks.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Satyabrata Sikder set the new date for the submission of the report as the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) failed to submit it on February 3.
On December 7 last year, Muktijuddho Monch central committee president Aminul Islam Bulbul filed the first case against the three with the court of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Satybrata Shikder.
The plaintiff in the case alleged that Mamunul at a function in the capital’s BMA Bhaban on November 13 last year had threatened to lay seize at Shapla Chattar area, while Syed Faizul Karim at a separate program in Dholaikhal area, had called for jihad to stop construction of Bangabandhu’s sculpture, he even threatened to throw the sculpture into Buriganga.
Junayed Babunagari in another program at Hathazari in Chattogram had also allegedly threatened to repeat a Shapla Chattar blockade and tearing down the sculpture of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Aminul Islam Bulbul in the case also alleged that the accused were trying to incite communal hatred by using the religion and use this for gaining political gains.
