Online Desk: Law Minister Anisul Huq on Tuesday said that Deputy Attorney General Imran Ahmed Bhuiya has demoralised the discipline by making a statement about Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus. “Imran Ahmed Bhuiya is a DAG (Deputy Attorney General) of Attorney General’s Office. If he speaks to the media, he should either resign nor to speak with the permission of the Attorney General. He didn’t do that.”

Minister Anisul Huq made this comment while leaving after joining a discussion organised by the Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) on the proposed cyber security law at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital today.

Deputy Attorney General Imran Ahmed Bhuiya on Monday refused to sign a statement allegedly prepared by the attorney general’s office in protest against the statement of world leaders in support of Dr Muhammad Yunus.

“More than 160 global leaders gave a statement in an open letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. I think that Dr Yunus has been harassed using the judiciary. The Attorney General’s Office has decided to provide a counter statement. But I have decided not to sign,” Imran Ahmed said to media.
