Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Wednesday expressed fear that the government might move to remove chief justice SK Sinha creating an excuse of calling him ‘mentally sick.’
The party said the ruling party was annoyed over the recent verdict that scrapped 16th amendment to the constitution which re-empowered parliament for removal of Supreme Court judges for incapacity or misconduct.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi addressing a discussion at the National Press Club in Dhaka said now it was being feared and discussed everywhere whether they (ruling party) were proceeding to brand the chief justice mentally sick or any other ‘evil motive.’
Rizvi observed that the verdict had hit their (ruling party) heart.
The ruling Awami League was raising voice after the release of the full-text of the verdict on August 1.
In the observation of the verdict among other issues the chief justice highlighted Bangladesh’s politics, military rule, parliament, lawmakers, Election Commission and independence of judiciary.
The BNP senior joint secretary general said they (ruling party) could not accept the observations and became unnerved over the observations.
Bangladesh National Awami Party, a partner of the BNP-led alliance, organised the discussion on ‘current instability: on which way Bangladesh’ to mark 8th death anniversary of the party’s chairman Shafiqul Ghani Swapan.
The BNP’s senior joint secretary general criticised the government for not holding the funeral and burial of the late legendary film actor Abdur Razzak with state honour.
Presided over by NAP secretary general Golam Mostafa Bhuiyan, the discussion was addressed, among others, by BNP joint secretary general Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal and National Party chairman Syed Ehsanul Huda.
