Bangladeshi lawyer allegedly posts derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AA) – A Bangladeshi lawyer reportedly posted a derogatory social media comment about the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on Wednesday.
The Facebook post went viral on social media amid outrage in the South Asian Muslim-majority nation against insulting comments about the prophet from two officials of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last week.
Fellow attorneys held a massive demonstration at the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, where the lawyer worked, vandalizing his office.
They also held a rally to demand the immediate punishment to the lawyer, with the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association suspending his membership.
On behalf of the attorneys, a case was filed against the lawyer, at the Shahbag Police Station in the capital Dhaka on Wednesday night.
