A court in Sirajganj has ordered the publication of a newspaper notice against Kushtia-3 Member of Parliament Mufti Amir Hamza. The order was issued on Sunday at 11 a.m. by Judge Suman Karmakar of the Chauhali Amli Court after Hamza failed to appear in court as scheduled. The case was filed by Advocate Humayun Kabir Colonel, general secretary of the Sirajganj District Lawyers Association, who confirmed that the notice will initiate the trial process.

According to case details, on March 27, Hamza allegedly made defamatory remarks against the Minister of Power and Energy and BNP Standing Committee member Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku during a discussion at the Hatsh Haripur Boro Jame Mosque in Kushtia. Advocate Humayun Kabir filed a defamation case on April 2, leading the court to summon Hamza to appear on April 21. When he failed to attend, an arrest warrant was issued.

As Hamza again did not appear on Sunday, the court directed that a public notice be published in newspapers to proceed with the case.
