After recording his statement, the magistrate sent him to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.
In his statement, Amir Hamza said he delivered provocative speeches in the name of waz which are available on YouTube and Facebook.
Md Al Sakib, an operative of banned militant group Ansar-al-Islam, was inspired by Hamza s provocative speeches on social media platforms, and planned an attack on Jatiya Sangsad on the night of May 5 as per direction of his spiritual leader Ali Hasan Osama. But I did not directly order to attack Jatiya Sangsad, Amir Hamza said in his statement, according to court sources.
Two more accused have already given confessional statements before magistrates and said they had planned an attack on Jatiya Sangsad being inspired by his (Amir Hamza) provocative speeches.
