News - Court shouldn’t involve in political issues: Ashraf

 Awami League secretary general Syed Ashraful Islam on Thursday said the political issues should be resolved through mutual discussions instead of involving courts in the process.

“Once court gets involved in political confrontations…the results won’t be good in the future,” he told a discussion on recent political situation at National Press Club.

He said judges both in Bangladesh and Pakistan did never play a supportive role for democracy in the past. “They’ll have to go a long way. They’ll have to prove more. Then trust upon them will get revived.”

Ashraful, also the LGRD Minister, hoped that the political problems will be resolved through discussions as done in the past.

Mentioning that opposition leaders are seen busy in talk-shows, he said, “They apparently remain too much busy. They don’t have that much time to sit in discussions.”

On hartal issue, he said he will discuss how the hartal can be stopped through discussions at the government level.

Environment and Forests Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud was also present.
