Former MP and former State Minister for Industries Kamal Ahmed Majumder cried at one stage during the hearing of the case filed against a man named Mohiuddin in Mirpur, Dhaka, on August 5, the last day of the student-public movement.

On Monday, the court of Metropolitan Magistrate GM Farhan Istiak in Dhaka granted the application to show him arrested in the case.

Kamal claimed that he was in favor of the student-public movement against discrimination. He told the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to accept the students’ demands. He was banned from entering Ganobhaban because he made this statement in favor of the student-public movement.

While saying these things, Kamal Ahmed Majumder started crying at one stage. He told the court, ‘I am being harassed with one false case after another.’

Omar Farooq Farooq, Chief Public Prosecutor (PP) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court, claimed that Kamal’s statements were untrue.

Kamal Ahmed Majumder also said, ‘If there was true rule of law in the country, I would not have been harassed like this. I am being harassed with one false case after another. There is no news of the plaintiff. Now my family is unable to stay at home.’

He kept telling the court, ‘I am a brave freedom fighter. I have respect for the court. I am being harassed with false cases.’

Regarding Kamal Ahmed Majumder’s statement regarding the ‘false case’, PP Omar Farooq Farooq told the court that the killings and genocide that took place in Bangladesh in July-August are unprecedented in the history of the world. Talking about filing false cases means making fun of those murdered children.

The PP told the court, ‘Kamal Ahmed Majumder says he is a freedom fighter. But is the spirit of the liberation war to kill people? To vote during the day and at night? To remain in power for years without voting? To disappear people? To kill? Why does he claim that he is a freedom fighter?’
