The minister made the announcement in response to questions from reporters at Akhaura Junction Railway Station in Brahmanbaria on Friday (8 September).

The Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said DAG Imran had violated the state's discipline by talking to the media without the permission of the attorney general over signing a statement against Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus.

Meanwhile, Law Minister Anisul Huq, while answering reporters' questions at the Akhaura Junction Railway Station in Brahmanbaria district on Friday morning said Imran Ahmed Bhuiyan was dismissed from his post.

On August 28, world leaders, including more than 100 Nobel laureates, issued an open letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, stating: "We are alarmed that he [Yunus] has recently been targeted by what we believe to be continuous judicial harassment."

In response to the call from world leaders to suspend legal action against Dr Yunus, a total of 171 noted citizens, intellectuals, and professionals in Bangladesh issued a joint statement on September 2.
