Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua served the legal notice, on behalf of 11 eminent citizens of the country, asking the government to respond to it within 24 hours. The 11 citizens are Dhaka University teachers Ahmed Kamal, Gitiara Nasreen, Fahmidul Haque, Akmal Hussain, Tanzim Uddin Khan, and Samina Lutfa, Jahangirnagar University teacher Anu Muhammad, Bam Morcha (left alliance) leader Abdus Salam, cultural activist Arup Rahi, writer Rakhal Raha, and Biplabi Workers’ Party General Secretary Saiful Haque.
