Another charge against the JCD leaders was making defamatory and provocative statement against Hasina.

The petitioners complained that the accused persons threatened the Awami League president and BCL leaders at a meeting held on the premises of Aparajeyo Bangla in Dhaka University after a procession on the campus on February 3. They also abused Shiekh Hasina with filthy language at the meeting.

After hearing, the magistrate recorded the plaintiff's petition. Thirty pro- Awami League lawyers pleaded the prosecution. The court took the case into cognizance and ordered an investigation.
