Professor Serajul Islam Choudhury | Collected“Sending such a notice is an attack on freedom of expression and facilitates fundamentalism-” Noyagonotantrik GonomorchaTerming an opinion piece by Dhaka University Professor Emeritus Serajul Islam Choudhury "inappropriate" and serving legal notice, was condemned by the leftist organization Noyagonotantrik Gonomorcha. "Our views about Rabindranath may differ from what Prof Serajul said. On Sunday, Prof Serajul responded to the legal notice through Supreme Court Advocate, Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua, asking Mahboub's lawyer to withdraw the legal notice, according to other media reports. "The published article reflects our client's (Prof Serajul) own opinions which derive from how he views the literature of Rabindranath. The right to express such views is guaranteed by the constitution and does not have anything that may offend others, wrote Joytirmoy responding to the legal notice.
