Respected Manik sb and other members,

Assalamu Alaikum. As you know, Jugantor is a very partisan paper. I do not
depend on the reports of highly partisan papers . I take material from
relatively less-partisan papers . I based my comments on
the speech of Hasan Azizul Huq in a seminar in Rajshahi
as published in Naya Diganta ( on 23 rd August, page 3 )

Quote Islamic Shariah demeans human beings , a person can be religious
without believing in God, religion is a disease ,history says religion
appeared only for exploitation, God, Allah, Bhagaban, Ishshar all are
creation of men ( translation mine from Bangla ). Unquote There are also
other such
comments.

I also talked to Naya Diganta Executive editor and he confirmed the report.

Please give me a call sometime.
