Court summons Sayedee's counsel
A Dhaka court yesterday summoned Barrister Fakhrul Islam to appear before it on October 26 in connection with a defamation case filed for his comments about the country's Liberation War.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hassan Talukdar passed the order hours after Sadrul Alam Chowdhury, a freedom fighter from Keraniganj, filed the case.
The case statement said Barrister Fakhrul Islam, a counsel for detained Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee, made offensive comments saying that the 1971 war took place between Pakistan and India.
