Two ruling party leaders have called for legal action against BNP chief Khaleda Zia for her controversial statement on judiciary. Khaleda had earlier said the judiciary has become politically biased and controlled.
“Khaleda’s speech has tarnished the country’s image in the world arena. Such speech is unacceptable and tantamount to contempt,” said Awami Advisory Council Member Suranjit Sengupta while addressing a discussion in Dhaka yesterday.
Claiming that the judiciary is independent, Suranjit said that the BNP chief had been taking position against it.
Meanwhile, Awami League Publicity and Publication Secretary Hassan Mahmud said Khaleda had dishonoured the court, which is undesireable.
“Khaleda Zia has been making false statements in Iftar gatherings organised by pro-BNP men. In the holly month of Ramadan, she made such statements to ignite of violence.
He also said no conspiracies will see light as people are with the government.
