Adviser on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs commented that the election may be held by 2025. Asif Nazrul
He made this comment while participating in Channel Eye’s today’s newspaper program presented by Manabzamin newspaper’s editor-in-chief Matiur Rahman Chowdhury on Thursday night. After Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman hinted at the timing of the election, this is the first time an advisor has spoken directly on the issue.
Dr. in the discussion program. Asif Nazrul said that the Digital Security Act will be repealed. Besides, he mentioned that he had never said that any journalist would be tried in the International Criminal Tribunal.
Referring to the prisoner exchange agreement regarding the trial of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the legal adviser said, if India accepts this agreement, they should return Sheikh Hasina. If this agreement is followed properly, they are bound to return Sheikh Hasina.
In response to a question about the dumping case, Asif Nazrul said that there was a case of disappearance with the help of the previous government. These were done by the police. The cases were against the people of the then opposition party. Now there is a pouring case. The cases are filed by those who were previously tortured. The interim government is working to ensure that innocent people are not punished in these cases.
Noting that journalists will be prosecuted in the International Criminal Tribunal, he said that if they are not responsible, they will not be prosecuted in a special tribunal. In response to a question about banning the Chhatra League, he said that the present government will not do anything further. But the demand to ban them has grown. Banned if public expectation is created. What they have done in the past is all over the media. The countrymen have seen.
Asif Nazrul also said that a search committee will be formed for the Election Commission in a few days. He apologized to the public for the increase in liquid prices. He said that the price of curry is so high that the sale has decreased. Due to the flood, the supply of eggs has decreased. During the previous government, all control was through syndicates.
He said, but I can say that the situation will improve in the future. There has been improvement in many areas.
In response to another question, he said a judge during the previous government said he was a sworn politician. Many others have done many things. There were so many disappearances and murders in the country, there were fake elections and the judges did not say anything. Too many judges have ruined the judiciary. Awami League lawyers attacked the Chief Justice. Awami League has given promotion to those who have done these things.
Sheikh Hasina’s government has brought down this judiciary, she has done the biggest disaster of the judiciary. He destroyed the judiciary. He has made the judiciary a place of people’s hatred and anger. Such was the situation that one could speak against Sheikh Hasina, but one could not speak against the judiciary. The chaos that is happening there now is the result of Awami League’s work.
Highlighting the previous government, he further said, “The havoc that is happening in Bangladesh, everything has become a by-product or an inevitable reflection of the 15-year fascist government.”
Regarding BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s case, the legal advisor said, ‘When Khaleda Zia was accused of embezzling orphan’s money, she was surprised and said, ‘I have embezzled orphan’s money!’ But the judge wrote about that – she (Khaleda Zia) admitted. Such a popular leader had to live in brutal prison life day after day. Were they judges? I questioned their conscience.
He said, ‘Dr. Muhammad Yunus went to ask for a remedy, the judges are imbarrased, do not listen. I went to complain, they wouldn’t listen. Of course, there are good judges here. We have to judge frankly, deeply.’
70 days have been serving in the advisory board, what has gone wrong? In response to such a question, he said, it could be wrong. Because I have less experience. But I can say this – I did not do wrong knowingly. I may be wrong in principle. But I did not do any work for personal interest.
In response to another question, Asif Nazrul said, We are in the process of repealing the Digital Security Act. People cannot hear these names.
