Staff Reporter:
Juboshakti, the youth front of the National Citizen Party (NCP), yesterday strongly condemned and pro-tested what it described as a ‘false and politically motivated’ case filed against party Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary by a Jubo Dal leader.
In a joint statement on Monday, Juboshakti Convener Advocate Md Tarikul Islam and Member Secretary Dr Zahedul Islam said the defamation case was intended to harass Patwary for his “truthful and construc-tive remarks” made during a recent discussion.
Earlier in the day, Kazi Mukituzzaman, a member of the convening committee of Dhaka South Jubo Dal, filed a defamation case against Nasiruddin Patwary with the court of Dhaka Additional Chief Met-ropolitan Magistrate Md Zakir Hossain, accusing him of making defamatory remarks against Jubo Dal leader Rabiul Islam Nayon during a conference at the BMA Auditorium in Dhaka on November 1.
The court later directed the Detective Branch (DB) of police to investigate the allegations and submit a report.
Juboshakti leaders urged the top leadership of the BNP’s Jubo Dal to immediately withdraw what they called a ‘false case’ and to take legal action against those actually involved in extortion and corruption.
