A court here on Tuesday issued a warrant for the arrest of BNP standing committee member MK Anwar on charge of instigating communal forces and defaming a Swechchhasebak League leader. Metropolitan Magistrate Hasibul Haque passed the order after accepting a petition filed by Swechchhasebak League leader Debashish Biswas in this regard. In his complaint, Debashish said MK Anwar at a press conference on Monday accused him of torching some copies of the holy Quran in the city’s Baitul Mukarram area on May 5 during the violence by Hefajat Islam men. “MK Anwar instigated the communal forces disseminating false information and making fabricated remarks through the press conference. He also tarnished my political and social image by making the false and defamatory comments,” Debashish mentioned in his case statement.
