Arrest, punish 'atheist bloggers'

Accusing the ruling AL-led government of siding with atheists, Islami Andolon Bangladesh Ameer Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim, the pir of Chormonai, yesterday demanded arrest and punishment, by enacting a law, of atheist bloggers for “insulting Islam”.
The incumbent and previous governments nurtured corruption, violence, nepotism and other different evil practices in the last few decades, he told a rally on Barisal city's Fazlul Huq Avenue.
The rally is part of a road march the IAB initiated from Jessore and set to end in Kuakata over a five-point demand, including restoration of the phrase “Absolute trust and faith upon Almighty Allah” in the constitution.
