Law Minister Anisul Huq yesterday said barrister Mainul Hosein has been arrested following a warrant for what he (Mainul) said to journalist Masuda Bhatti.
The law minister said this after attending a program of Bangladesh Poli-tical Science Association (BPSA) at Dhaka Univer-sity's Social Science Faculty in reply to a question by the journalists.
"Mainul Hosein used to say many things against the government even before the formation of Oikyafront, but we never arrested him for that," the law minister said indicating that the arrest is not the result of Mainul's political activities.
The "haughty and shameless" statement by Mainul was not insulting to Journalist Masuda Bhatti alone, rather it was insulting to entire women, said Anisul Haque.Barrister Mainul Hosein was arrested on Tuesday night from the Uttara residence of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Rab) chief ASM Abdur Rab.
