Dhaka, Dec 02 - A writ petition was filed with the Appellate Division seeking a stay order on ‘Joy Bangla’ as national slogan.

Additional Attorney General Barrister Anik R Haq said the state filed the petition against a High Court (HC) order that declared the Joy Bangla as national slogan in 2010.

He said, the Appellate Division will hold a hearing on the petition on Sunday next.

In 2010, an HC bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice K.M. Kamrul Kader passed the order.

While issuing the order, the court had said Joy Bangla is the slogan of the nation’s solidarity and favourite slogan of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.-UNB
