It stated that Fazlur's comments have sparked strong public reactions and are viewed by many as an attempt to tarnish the party's reputation, while also hurting religious sentiments.
Fazlur has been asked to submit a written reply to the party's central office in Nayapaltan within 24 hours, explaining why organisational action should not be taken against him for his statements.
