Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had initiated the process to establish rule of law in the country and it is his worthy daughter Sheikh Hasina who has completed the process.
In an interview with BSS on the contribution of Bangabandhu to the judiciary, eminent jurist and Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said, “Bangabandhu had contributed to all the organs of the state, including judiciary. We can say that Bangabandhu had planted a sapling and her daughter has nurtured it to a big three.”
“Bangabandhu is the greatest Bengali of thousand years. He was honored with the title of Father of the Nation. He got such honors for his lifelong struggle for his country and its people. His ultimate goal to liberate Bangladesh and its people,” he added.
The Law Minister said the first thing that the Father of the Nation inserted in the constitution of Bangladesh is that the judiciary will always be independent and none will be able to interfere over it.
“The main thing in the constitution of 1972 was to ensure the independent of judiciary, which was done by Bangabandhu. Whenever he made any speech regarding judiciary, he said it clearly that judiciary will be independent and no country can develop without rule of law. We learned these things from him,” Anisul Huq added.
The Law Minister said if Bangabandhu was not killed by the schemers in 1975, the country’s judiciary would have a firm stand much earlier.
Senior jurist Advocate Hrishikesh Saha said the contribution of Bangabandhu in all the sectors including judiciary is as bright as the sun.
