A case has been filed against senior advocate Mohammad Shishir Monir, Jamaat-e-Islami’s parliamentary candidate for Sunamganj-2, over alleged remarks equating Ramadan fasting and Hindu Puja rituals. The complaint accuses Monir of making statements that hurt religious sentiments by describing the two practices as 'two sides of the same coin.' The Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of Dhaka, Jashita Islam, recorded the complainant’s deposition and directed the Detective Branch (DB) of police to investigate. According to the case filed by lawyer Ridwan Hossain Robin, Monir’s comments—made in a video on the YouTube channel DSN—were intended to provoke religious tension and gain political advantage. The complaint notes that such remarks could disturb communal harmony in Bangladesh, where about 91.4% of the population is Muslim. Court officials confirmed the order for investigation. The case underscores the sensitivity of religious discourse in Bangladesh’s political landscape. Authorities are expected to review the video evidence, and the DB’s findings will determine whether formal charges follow.
