The government’s senior ministers yesterday said the verdict in the seven-murder case demonstrated the rule of law in the country and warned that none involved in crimes would be spared.
Law Minister Anisul Huq said the judgment proves that there is rule of law in the country.
“Country’s people will be pleased by this verdict and the fear that was created by the heinous crime will go away. The state has done its duty of bringing the criminals to justice and ensuring their free and fair trial,” he told at press briefing held at his secretariat office.
Regarding the execution of the verdict, the law minister said when a trial court sentences someone to death, it sends the case documents to the High Court for approval within seven days.
“If the High Court upholds the sentence, the convict can file appeal with the Appellate Division. The execution will take place only after completion of all these formalities,” he said.
Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said the verdict proves that people get justice under the rule of this government.
“We hope that the higher court will uphold the judgment,” he told journalists after attending a function in the city.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said the verdict in the seven-murder case demonstrated the rule of law in the country and warned that none involved in crimes would be spared.
“The verdict in Narayanganj seven-murder case proved that the government would not spare anyone in case of crime,” he told newsmen while giving his instant reaction to the verdict at his secretariat office.
He said the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) would not be responsible for its some derailed personnel, who committed crimes, because it is an institution to curb crimes in the country.
“This judgment has established the force further. The RAB also helped to conduct proper investigation of the killing.”
Replying to a query about the absconding convicts, Kamal said the law enforcers would bring them to justice.
