Arrest warrant against Tarique

Dhaka court on Thursday issued an arrest warrant against Bangladesh Nationalist Party senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman in a case of defamation and sedition following his recent remarks on the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.Metropolitan magistrate Yunus Khan issued the order after Md Mustafizur Rahman Dulal, also a lawyer, filed a case this morning with a Dhaka metropolitan magistrate court.The BNP senior leader on December 15, at a programme in London, termed Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as ‘Razakar, murderer and Pakbandhu (friend of Pakistan)’.Meanwhile, Bangladesh Awami Hawkers’ League general secretary Abdul Mannan also filed another case against Tarique and Metropolitan magistrate Maruf Hossain was scheduled to hear on the petition on the day.
