Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu currently on a tour of UK got into a fix by agreeing to pose for pictures with two young men .
A press statement released by the Information Ministry said he had gone to ATN Bangla’s studio to take part in a talk show on Monday night London time.
Two men began to urge Inu for a photo to which the minister agreed.
“The men turned rough and began to swear at the minister as soon as he came near them to pose for a photo. The two ran away when officials and security personnel for ATN Bangla came to the minister’s rescue.”
Inu went on to join the talk show and after that returned to his hotel.
The press statement said the minister is fine and secure in London to clarify rumours that he was attacked in London.
Awami League spokesman Mohammad Nasim blamed activists of BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami and Hifazat-e Islami living in London for the incident.
The minister has said Jamaat and its student front Islami Chhatra Shibir are emerging as ‘terrorist and militant’ outfits.
The Information Minister had told the press many a time that the government was considering a ban on Jamaat-e-Islami.
He left the country for London on Sept 5 and is due to return on Sept 12. – bdnews24.com
