A Supreme Court lawyer yesterday sent a legal notice to BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman for his derogatory and disparaging remarks on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Advocate Momtaz Uddin Ahmed in his legal notice said Tarique at a meeting in London termed Sheikh Mujib “Pakbandhu” (friend of Pakistan) and called him a killer of freedom-loving people of Bangladesh.
Tarique at the meeting organised by London BNP unit said Sheikh Mujib came as a Pakistani citizen and took oath as the president of Bangladesh and which is why a case should be filed against him as to how a Pakistani citizen could take the oath as the president of independent Bangladesh.
According to the notice, a case will be filed against Tarique if he does not withdraw his remarks and make an unconditional public apology for his remarks within seven days.
Momtaz described Tarique as talkative, foolish and immature, who lacks political culture. He knows very little about the history of Liberation War.
