Abu Taher, Secretary
General of Combined Liberation War Fair Organising Council, pressed the charge
with the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Hasanul
Islam.
Taher’s counsel Tapan Das said the court accepted the case and
fixed Mar 28 for hearing.
The magistrate also asked Assistant
Commissioner of Kotwali Police Station to submit a report after investigating
the case.
According to the complaints, Kader Siddiqui on Feb 9 called the
Home Minister a ‘Razakar’ at a council of Krishak Sramik Janata League in
Dhaka’s Institution of Engineers. Siddiqui heads the party.
The
complainant said he read the news in the daily Azadi in Chittagong the next
day.
Taher told bdnews24.com that confusion could be created if a man
like Kader Siddiqui had branded the Home Minister a collaborator of the
Pakistani occupation forces in the nation’s War of Independence in
1971.
