Ershad for arrest of Latif Siddique
Tuesday, 30 September 2014
Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad has demanded Minister Abdul Latif Siddique’s immediate arrest for his remarks on two biggest Muslim religious gatherings – Hajj and Tablig Jamaat.
Ershad, a Special Envoy to the Prime Minister, in a statement Tuesday said he was lost for word to condemn such derogatory remarks against one of the four pillars of Islam, according to a news agency.
“He must be expelled from the Cabinet and arrested immediately,” the former military ruler said in the statement written in Bangla.
A video clip of Siddique making comment against Hajj and Tablig at an event in New York went viral Monday.
