Wednesday, 1 October 2014
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sacked Telecommunications Minister Abdul Latif Siddique, under fire for his comments against Hajj, from the Cabinet. Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul Alam Hanif told a press conference on Wednesday at the party president's Dhanmondi political office about the action. "Bangladesh Awami League doesn't support such statement. That's why the prime minister has immediately dismissed him from the Cabinet," he said, according to a news agency.
