BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Wednesday said, the government is nakedly trying to control the judiciary.
He questioned the independence of the judiciary since a former ruling party MP and his wife were granted bail on Tuesday hours after they had been sent to jail in Pirojpur.
Fakhrul said it while talking to reporters in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.
Earlier on Tuesday, Pirojpur district and sessions Judge Abdul Mannan passed an order to send former Awami League (AL) MP AKM Awal and his wife Laila Parvin to jail rejecting their bail prayers in three corruption cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) last year.
Local AL leaders and activists and pro-ruling party lawyers started demonstrations on the court premises protesting the order.
Judge Abdul Mannan was immediately released after posting of Joint District and Sessions Judge Nahid Nasrin as the acting district and sessions judge of Pirojpur within four hours of rejecting the bail petition.
