Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker Mufti Amir Hamza, representing Kushtia-3 constituency, has filed a petition with the High Court seeking anticipatory bail in a defamation case. The hearing on his petition may take place on Monday before a bench led by Justice Zahid Sarwar Kajol. The case stems from allegations that Hamza made defamatory remarks about State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku.
On April 21, a Sirajganj court issued an arrest warrant against Amir Hamza after he failed to appear despite being summoned earlier. The case was filed on April 2 by Humayun Kabir, Additional Public Prosecutor of Sirajganj District and General Secretary of the District Bar Association. He accused Hamza of calling Iqbal Hasan Mahmud an atheist and making offensive comments about Islam.
The allegations arose from a March 26 speech by Iqbal Hasan Mahmud honoring the 1971 Liberation War and freedom fighters, which Hamza later criticized during a sermon at a mosque in Kushtia.
