UNB, Dhaka :
Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday said the scuffle among the pro-BNP lawyers on the court premises has demonstrated that the party has no respect for the law.
He also accused BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia of harassing the court by prolonging the trial process seeking time from the court repeatedly and remaining absent from appearing before it.
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, came up with the allegation while inaugurating Dhaka north city unit Awami League’s member collection and renewal drive on the Gulshan Youth Club ground.
“Her (Khaleda’s) lawyers’ scuffle has exposed that they have no respect for the law. You’ve understood through it what will happen if they go to power,” he said. Earlier on Thursday, Pro-BNP lawyers engaged in jostling to get centre stage before television cameras during a media briefing soon after Khaleda left the court area. About Khaleda’s allegation that the government is trying to influence the court to deprive her of justice, Quader said BNP praises the court when any case goes under its favour, but it accuses government of interfering when it goes against the party. Quader alleged that many media outlets in the country are not doing justice to Awami League as they did not highlight on public sufferings caused by obstruction of roads by BNP men on Wednesday in the name of receiving their chairperson.
