Mosharraf to face court February 7
A Dhaka court yesterday summoned Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, BNP standing committee member, before it on February 7, hours after a defamation case was filed against him.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Moniruzzaman issued the order after AB Siddiqui, president of Bangladesh Jononetri Parishad, filed the case.
In the case, Siddiqui said Mosharraf threatened Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina with death and also defamed her while addressing a press conference at Jatiya Press Club on December 31.
As per Siddiqui's statement, Mosharraf said, "If the present government wants to stay in power by organising the national election under the supervision of a partisan government then they will be fated to accept the consequences of 1975."
