Taposh urges to withdraw cases against Kokhon!

After a ongoing drama between two former and current mayor , Dhaka south city mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Tuesday said that former mayor Mohammad Sayeed Khokon’s remarks defamed him; but he asked the two plaintiffs to withdraw the defamation cases against Khokon.

‘I think Khokon defamed me by making libellous comments. I will file case against him if needed,’ he said replying to journalists at a press conference held at Nagar Bhaban marking Sakrain festival.

On Monday, two defamation cases were filed by two people against former Dhaka South City Corporation mayor Sayeed Khokon on charge of making libellous comments against his successor and incumbent mayor Taposh.

Kazi Anisur Rahman and lawyer Sarwar Alam filed the cases with the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court hours after Taposh had declared that he would take legal action against Khokon for bringing graft allegations against him.

Judge Rajesh Chowdhury recorded the statements of the plaintiffs and set Tuesday for passing orders in the cases.
