block
Staff Reporter :
The High Court (HC) on Sunday ordered to take steps to implement its earlier directives to secure dignity, gravity and sanctity of the Central Shaheed Minar which was established in memory of the Language Martyrs.
The HC also ordered the Cultural Secretary to submit a progress report of implementation of their directives to make a list of real language soldiers, to establish a library and a language museum beside Shaheed Minar within six months.
The HC Bench of Justice Naima Haidar and Justice
Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman passed the order.
On August 2010, the HC delivered a verdict with 8-point directives to secure dignity and sanctity of the Central Shaheed Minar after hearing a writ petition.
Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB), a rights organization, filed the writ petition in that year seeking HC directives.
On February 16 in 2017, Advocate Monzil Murshid, the Counsel of the HRPB, informed the court that most of the directives of the court were not implemented. The court fixed Sunday for passing order after hearing the Counsel.
