Police held Babu Ranjan Nandi from Kashimpur area Sunday night following allegations from local people.
He published pictures of the holy Ka'aba, goddess Durga and a temple in the poster on the eve of Durga Puja of the Hindu community to depict his notion of religious friendship.
Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, sub-inspector of the Chakrabarti Police Outpost under Joydevpur Police Station, said the AL leader greeted the people through the poster, on the occasion of the Puja festival.
The poster contains the pictures of the Ka'aba on the right, goddess Durga in the middle and a temple in the left, he said.
"The poster angered Muslims of the locality."
Amid demand of the local people, police arrested him under the section 54 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The court sent him to jail on Monday afternoon when police produced him before it.
Nandi, Awami League president of ward-7 under Kashimpur union council, has a pharmaceutical dispensary in Kashimpur Bazar.
Maulana Abdul Mannan, imam of the Kashimpur BDS Mosque, said the sentiment of the Muslims was hurt through the poster.
"It's an offence. Those who campaigned for him (Nandi) should also be brought to justice," he added.
Freedom fighter Abdul Aziz, whose name was used below the poster, claimed that it was used without his permission.
Nandi admitted to his wrongdoing. He said: "I've sought pardon from the people in the area and asked my people to take out the posters."

P.S: Shri Shanti Durga Temple Goa: Among the other temples, the most architecturally interesting is the Shri Shantadurga Temple in Goa. The Shantadurga Temple is located in a picturesque forest clearing and was erected by one of the Maratha rulers of the Western Deccan. Dedicated to Shanta Durga, the goddess of peace, this temple has an unusual, almost pagoda-like structure with a roof made from long slabs of stone. The original temple was over 400 years old. In the temple complex there is a tank and a five storeyed bell or lamp tower. These pagoda like structures are peculiar to Goa and suggest the influence of Western Church ideas concerning the place of worship. The domed temple is Neo-Classical in design.
