Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has dismissed former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha’s allegation against the government as ‘fictitious.’
Justice Sinha claimed he resigned in the ‘face of intimidation and threats’ in his book titled “A Broken Dream: Rule of Law,
Human Rights and Democracy”. The book published in a Kindle version on Amazon made a series of assertions, including the government’s pressure on him leading to his inglorious exit from the judiciary. Sinha alleged that he was forced to resign and exiled by the government after he fell out with the Hasina administration over a “historic verdict in favour of the independence of judiciary”. “It was unprecedented in the history of the judiciary,” Sinha wrote. Quader, an Awami League stalwart, rejected his claim. “We’re all aware of the context in which he had resigned from his post. He can write a fictitious book staying abroad but I don’t think we should talk about that,” Quader told reporters in Dhaka on Thursday. “Why couldn’t he say all this earlier as the chief justice? Now he was speaking about an old issue-that too, all fabricated.”
