Staff Correspondent, Ctg
A Chittagong court yesterday asked three central leaders of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to appear before it on September 23 this year in connection with a sedition case. The leaders are BNP Secretary General Khandoker Delwar Hossain, Standing Committee member Barrister Rafiqul Islam Mia and Vice Chairman Shah Moazzem Hossain. Court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Keshob Roy Chowdhury summoned them after taking into cognizance the complaint lodged by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Rangunia Upazila unit President Badiul Khaer Chow-dhury Liton on Wednesday. In the complaint, Liton alleged that the BNP leaders made speeches giving indirect death threat to the prime minister at an agitation rally organised by BNP at Muktangon in Dhaka on July 25.
