Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon on Tuesday called on India to arrest former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana and send them back to Bangladesh.
He said during a press conference at the SCBA auditorium, where several pro-BNP lawyers were present.
The SCBA president said: "We want to maintain a positive relationship with the people of India. Please, arrest Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, who fled the country, and send them back to Bangladesh.
“Sheikh Hasina has killed many people in Bangladesh," he said.
Barrister Khokon, who is also a joint secretary general of the BNP, urged the authorities not to declare a state of emergency.
The SCBA president demanded that Supreme Court judges who have engaged in politics and corruption resign within one week.
He also demanded the resignations of the state law officers, including Attorney General AM Amin Uddin, and the chiefs and officials of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) within a week as they were appointed by the Sheikh Hasina-led government.
Khokon said many political prisoners, who have been suffering in jail, must be released immediately.
