Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul avoided questions from journalists on Wednesday about his recent meeting with Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed a day earlier amid growing demands from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement for President Mohammed Shahabuddin's resignation.
While visiting the International Crimes Tribunal, when reporters inquired about the meeting, the adviser declined to comment, saying: "I cannot speak every day. We are here to review the tribunal’s progress. The work is going well, and we hope the building’s operations will begin by November 3 or 4."
When pressed further about the meeting with the chief justice, he responded: "No, I will not talk about that. I am busy." He said this before leaving in his car.
The meeting, attended by Dr Nazrul and Information Adviser Nahid Islam, lasted around 40 minutes, but details of the discussion remain undisclosed.
The timing of the meeting raised questions as it followed the president’s controversial remarks about former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation and the subsequent protests by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
