UNB, Dhaka :Defending the government’s much-talked-about move to have the 16th constitution amendment bill passed, Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ministry Suranjit Sengupta on Tuesday said the bill is aimed at empowering parliament to “remove judges, not to impeach them”.”Confusion has arisen whether it’s impeachment or removal. There’s nothing of impeachment…there’re only two words-‘resignation’ or ‘removal’ of Supreme Court judges,” he said while briefing reporters over the bill that triggered severe criticisms by various quarters, including BNP.
