Court to decide Latif\\\'s fate: Kamal

State Minister for Home Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that the law will take its own course in Abdul Latif Siddiqui’s case once he returns to Bangladesh. ‘There are existing court directives on Latif Siddiqui. Steps will be taken according to that,’ Kamal told reporters at the Secretariat on Tuesday. Latif Siddiqui, the former telecom minister triggered a furor home and abroad for his rant on Holy Hajj and Tabligh Jamaat. At least three dozen cases have been filed against him in courts across the country. Arrest warrants too were issued by courts in Dhaka and Chittagong after he did not respond to the summons. Siddiqui is currently staying in Kolkata. Sources close to his family say he is not feeling safe to return to Bangladesh. He told Kolkata-based senior journalist and friend Sukharanjan Dasgupta that he would like to remain there or go to Shantiniketan to do ‘a bit of studying’. Meanwhile, an alliance of Islamist parties enforced a general shutdown on Sunday to demand his arrest, according to a news agency.
