Pointing to posts telecommunications and information technology minister Abdul Latif Siddique’s derogatory comments on Hajj and Tabligh Jamaat, he said that we should leave arrogant behaviour in politics.

However, supporting Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s speech on Latif at Friday’s press conference, Suranjit said that we should not further discuss on it.
