A law professor of Dhaka University was sued on Sunday under the Digital Security Act for a Facebook post that allegedly insulted the religious sentiment of Hindus.

Amit Bhowmik, general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Jubo Parishad, filed the case with Shahbagh Police Station against Sheikh Hafizur Rahman Karzon.

Mahfuzul Haque Bhuiyan, officer-in-charge (investigation), of the police station, said, "We will investigate and take action."
According to the complaint, the Facebook post of Prof Karzon "was ugly and defamatory; it hurt crores of Hindu people's religious sentiments as it went viral on social media."

The complaint said, "Prof Karzon posted it on purpose to create religious chaos and to embarrass the government of a non-communal country."

Prior to filing of the case, a general diary was lodged on the matter on July 24.

On July 31, a delegation of Bangladesh Hindu Lawyers' Council led by its president Sumon Kumar Roy met DU Vice-chancellor Md Akhtaruzzaman and submitted a written complaint, seeking action against Prof Karzon.

The accused professor told The Daily Star that the post he shared was a satire and when he realised that it could hurt someone's religious sentiment, he removed it and apologised in another post.

"I apologised, the case was filed only for harassing me."

Please observe the post below (it talks about a Bhagwan related joke about Milk and Alcohol), and Hindus getting triggered like anything (I don't believe the professor related this to anything in Hinduism yet they filled his Facebook page with horrible hate-filled malicious comments about his mother and wife).

Hindus in Bangladesh create their own situation ... for mistreatment by the majority, yet live under a legal protection unimaginable by Muslims in India. No pleasing these Hindus with a self-defeating prophecy.

But dindus will say Hindus are oppressed in Bangladesh..


Ignorant rats.



Bangladesh is the only country in the region with a sizable minority where people don't get lynched or forcefully converted..



But that doesn't stop sanghi rats from mouthing off.

It is a satire and I have seen many such things in the name of Bhagwan in books written in west Bengal. Muslims usually react and start rioting but Hindus do not.

It is a good satire, I enjoyed the theme. Look at our society, a milkman (দুধওয়ালা) has to move door to door and a Sharabseller (মদওয়ালা) has just to keep his shop open without moving.

No offense to Hindus here but pretty innocuous joke anyways.

"Bhagwan came down to earth one scorching hot June day, was thirsty and was asking Milkman to quench his thirst. Milkman told him "no free milk, go away". Chala jao yaha-se.

Then Bhagwan saw dancing wedding party coming down the way and asked them for a drink. They said sure, there is sharab here, have as much as you like.

Then Bhagwan, once he slaked his thirst and was satisfied and sleepy, issued curse to the milkman by saying you will never sell milk in one place, always have to go door to door.

And blessed sharab (alcohol) -wallah - saying people will always come to you, you will never want for customers.

Now you understand why things are like they are."

Yes, but it can have 5 different meaning to 5 different people.

Now poor Hindus exercising their right to seek a legal recourse is also a problem!

So freedom of speech when these doll worshipping cunts will criticize Islam and cry oppression get whacked for it

 

[hembo]

How'se that post offensive I fail to understand. Its just a simple joke, not even funny... People are being a little too sensitive these days. The world needs to lighten up..

Pretty old joke. Not insulting in any way.

Talking about beef may hurt someone's sensibilities here and they will report you. "Defamation of religious sentiments" as the thread heading says....
