Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said steps will be taken against the Daily Star for publishing a photograph of a poster of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic outfit banned in the country.

Sheikh Hasina made the remark on Wednesday at the parliament while answering to a question about the government’s stand against Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The English daily published the photograph of a poster of this organisation on its February 11 edition.

Earlier, on Tuesday, a lawyer filed a case against the editor and publisher of the daily, Mahfuz Anam, and two others for publishing that photograph under the headline 'Fanatics raise their ugly heads again' on February 11.
