IslamIsts want Bangla mInIster hanged

DHAKA: Thousands of Islamists protested on Friday in Dhaka demanding the death penalty for a former minister accused of blasphemy for comments perceived to be against Islam. Anger among Islamists has been rising since former Telecommunications Minister Abdul Latif Siddiqui was released on bail last week over comments he made in 2014 against Haj pilgrimage.
