Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday said the Awami League government has established the rule of law in Bangladesh, breaking away from the culture of impunity.
“The BNP instigated a culture of impunity in the country, beginning with the indemnity ordinance that concealed the assassination of our nation's father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family. This was a gross violation of human rights,” she said while congratulating the newly elected leaders of the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association at a courtesy meeting at Ganabhaban.
Mentioning that arrangements have been made by the Awami League government to ensure that Bangladeshi people receive justice, the premier said: “Our government has digitized the justice system so that people can get justice in a short time without suffering. We have made it virtual during the Covid-19 pandemic so that people can get justice from the comfort of their homes in a short time.”
