ICT issues contempt rule against 2 Jamaat leaders

 

The International Crimes Tribunal-2 on Thursday issued a show cause notice on two Jamaat-e-Islami leaders to explain why contempt of court proceeding should not be initiated against them for their 'instigating and derogatory remarks' about the tribunal.
The Jamaat leaders are: Hamidur Rahman Azad MP, a central executive member of Jamaat, and Selim Uddin, an assistant secretary of the Jamaat city unit.

The three-member tribunal led by its Chairman Justice Obaidul Hassan asked the Jamaat leaders to appear before the tribunal on February 20 with their explanations.
The tribunal issued the notice on the basis of reports published in The Daily Star and Bangla daily Prothom Alo on February 5.
The reports said the two leaders made the 'instigating and derogatory comments' while delivering speeches at a political gathering in the city on February 4.
