UNB, Dhaka :
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday said the recent activities of Law Minister Anisul Huq indicate that he thinks himself as the ‘country’s chief justice or more than that’.
“It’s surprising that the Law Minister is going to sit with the Appellate Division which is the most dignified part of the judiciary. The law minster is just part of the executive branch. It’s now a much-talked-about issue whether the law minister is considering himself as the chief justice,” he said.
Speaking at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan
central office, the BNP leader further said, “The way the Chief Justice has been sent on forced leave and his (Huq) recent activities demonstrate that he himself considers as the chief justice or more than that.”
He said there will be a big question in public mind if the law minister holds any meeting with the Appellate Division over publishing a gazette notification on the disciplinary and conduct rules for lower court judges.
Rizvi said, Anisul Huq must be held accountable to people someday for his current activities.
