ATEO sued for distorting Bangabandhu\\\'s name

CHITTAGONG, Sept 13 (BSS):  An assistant thana education officer (ATEO) has been sued on charges of distorting the name of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Mohammad Moazzem, general secretary of the Malghar Ward unit Awami League (AL) under Anowara upazila of the district, filed a defamation case before a Chittagong court against Mohiuddin Mohammad Alamgir, ATEO of Patiya upazila on Sunday.

Kudrat-E-Elahi, Judge of Chittagong Senior Judicial Magistrate Court-2, took the case into cognisance and summoned the ATEO before the court.

Court sources said Mohiuddin Mohammad Alamgir, when he was serving as the ATEO and acting thana education officer (TEO) of Anowara upazila last year, prepared a question paper of "Bangladesh and Global Studies" for class three.

In the multiple choice question (MCQ), the students were asked to choose the nickname of Bangbandhu from the four options- Babu, Bakul, Loka and Jadu- but the answer was not included in the options.

The plaintiff Moazzem, elder brother of a three grader, lodged a complaint before the headmaster of Malghar Government Primary School who informed that the question was prepared by the then acting TEO.
