BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said history will never forgive former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque for ‘unethically’ creating a ground for the ruling party to revoke the caretaker government (CG) system to conduct general election, reports UNB.
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader also said the political and economic future of the people of Bangladesh and their existence are closely related to the issue of a caretaker government.
“The parliament passed the law, but justice ABM Khairul Haque created the ground for it. History will never forgive him for it. He first gave a short verdict and later unethically gave the full verdict changing the short version as a civilian16 months after his retirement,” Fakhrul said.
Sachetan Nagorik Foundation arranged the discussion on the caretaker government issue in the current context of Bangladesh at a hotel in the capital, marking its fresh journey as a civic platform for raising awareness among people about their rights and the welfare of the country.
Fakhrul welcome the new platform and hoped it will play a proactive role in creating awareness among people about democracy and the independence of the judiciary as most of its members are involved with the legal profession.
