HC asks govt to explain
The High Court on Thursday issued a rule asking the government to explain within two weeks why it should not be directed to prosecute a teacher of Jahangirnagar University (JU) for allegedly posting a derogatory comment on the facebook against the prime minister.
A Bangla national daily on the day published a report stating that Muhammad Ruhul Amin Khandaker, a lecturer of Department of Information and Technology (IT) posted on his facebook on August 13 putting a question--why Sheikh Hasina does not die, as all die in road accidents.
Ruhul made the comment on the context of Tareque Masud and Ashfaque Munier Mishuk's deaths in a tragic road accident.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore issued the rule on a suo moto move following the report.
