Sedition Case
Moudud appears in Khulna court to submit bail bond
Addresses city BNP meeting
Lawmaker and a member of BNP Standing Committee Barrister Maudud Ahmed appeared before the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Barekuzzaman yesterday to submit bail bond in connection with a sedition case.
Advocate Sajjad Ali, Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) of the Judge's Court, Khulna filed a sedition case as complainant with the court of CMM on August 8 accusing Jamaat leader Dr Syed Abdullah Taher and BNP leader Barrister Maudud Ahmed.
The complainant alleged in his petition case that Barrister Maudud Ahmed presided over a meeting held at the National Press Club on August 4 where Jamaat central leader Dr. Syed Abdullah Taher had threatened Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to oust her by force with the help of cadres of his (Jamaat) party.
Barrister Maudud Ahmed did not protest the remark of Jamaat leader. So, he is equally liable to face sedition charge, the complainant said.
Later on August 9 Barrister Maudud secured bail from the High Court in connection with this sedition case.
He came to Khulna CMM Court to submit the bail bond as ordered by court.
Later at a party meeting Maudud called upon the patriotic people to forge greater unity irrespective of political affiliations to save Bangladesh from what he said Indian hegemony.
He was addressing a meeting organised by Khulna City BNP at noon at the party office at KD Ghose Road under Khulna Sadar police station.
Barrister Maudud said that the present ruling party signed an agreement in New Delhi last February allowing India to enjoy a few facilities which will ultimately pose threat to internal security of Bangladesh.
People of this country have the right to know the contents of the joint communique signed by two heads of government during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's state visit to India, he said.
Maudud said that the ruling party has created a bad instance of filing false cases one after another against BNP leaders and activists and its lawmakers. Political repression has broken all past records for which the ruling party will have to pay heavy price in future, he said.
