Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md Asaduzzaman has said the government will decide whether Bangladesh will join the Makkah Pact after considering all aspects of the matter.
He made the remarks on Saturday while responding to questions from journalists after attending a reception for meritorious students of Jhenidah Collectorate School and College as the chief guest.
Deputy Commissioner Md Noman Hossain presided over the program, while Prime Minister’s Political Assistant Rashed Khan attended as the special guest.
The law minister said India would act according to its foreign policy, while Bangladesh would follow its own policy.
“India will move like India, and Bangladesh will move like Bangladesh,” he added.
Regarding the country’s law and order situation, Asaduzzaman said the issue was not whether the government was satisfied with the situation, but whether it was making relentless efforts to maintain normalcy.
He said the government and the Ministry of Law are also working to introduce e-judiciary to digitalize the country’s judicial system.
The government plans to implement the e-judiciary system within the next year, he added.
District BNP President MA Majid, General Secretary Zahiduzzaman Mona, Vice-President Munshi Kamal Azad Pannu, Joint General Secretary Abdul Majid Biswas and Shailkupa upazila BNP General Secretary Humayun Babar Firoz, among other BNP leaders and activists of its affiliated organizations, attended the reception.
