A lawyer yesterday filed a defamation case with a Sylhet court against former parliamentarian and columnist Golam Maula Rony and Bangladesh Pratidin Editor Noyeem Nizam over a column.
The court also summoned the two on November 3, court sources said.
The lawyer, Saifur Rahman, told The Daily Star that he filed the case as the column, written by Rony and published by the Bangla daily on September 30, humiliated the lawyers' community.
