Fraud resorted to in parts of July Charter: Law Minister

Euro-Bangla Desk
Law Minister Md. Asaduzzaman said, the Separate Judiciary Secretariat Act, Human Rights Commission Act, Disappearance Commission Act and July Charter Act will be raised in Parliament after scrutiny. The review is necessary because even though the country has an independent judiciary, the Supreme Court has failed to maintain its individuality.

Stating that there are many questions about the Human Rights Commission and the Missing Commission, the minister said, “Deception has been resorted to in some parts of the July Charter.” BNP will implement those parts as per its promise. BNP has always been in favor of implementing the July Charter. Regarding the ‘July charter’, he further said that this charter has no constitutional or legal basis. He also pointed out that after 1973, the President did not have the opportunity to issue such an order. However, he also commented that BNP is talking about the implementation of the charter.

He said these things in the speech of the chief guest at an exchange meeting with members of the Jessore District Lawyers Association on Friday (April 24) afternoon. The meeting organized in the district lawyer association building was presided over by the president of the association and the president of the district BNP Ed. Syed Saberul Haque Sabu.

He also said that crossfire, missing and false cases have come down to zero in the country. Government is working for public welfare with responsibility. These words should be presented in front of the nation and should stand by the government.

Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan has expressed his conviction to uproot the roots of corruption existing at all levels of the judiciary. He said, the government is determined to establish an independent, transparent and accountable judicial system.

In this meeting of the lawyers’ association, the law minister promised to restore the traditional Jessore court to its original form and take steps to increase the allocation for the judiciary. At this time, he also assured to take steps to ensure that lawyers can get one crore taka after death from the Bar Council.
