AL leader files GD against SK Sinha
An Awami League leader yesterday filed a general diary against former chief justice SK Sinha with Pabna Sadar Police Station accusing him of delivering “objectionable, false and fabricated” speech against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In the GD, AL central sub-committee's Assistant Secretary KM Hasan Kabir Arif alleged that Sinha came up with the speech at a conference in the United Kingdom.
However, he did not mention exactly what Sinha had said or when the conference was held.
His speech has tarnished the image of the government and diminished the prestige of Sheikh Hasina, alleged Kabir in the GD.
Talking to The Daily Star, the AL leader claimed the government had a copy of the speech and details about the conference. If the matter could be investigated, everything would be revealed, he added.
“As a conscious citizen of Bangladesh, my prestige has also diminished. Legal action should be taken after investigating the matter,” he said in the GD.
Officer-in-Charge of Sadar police Obaidul Haque said they would take steps after running an investigation into the matter.
Justice Sinha, the 21st chief justice of the country, resigned on November 10 last year while abroad.
He has recently published an autobiography titled “A Broken Dream: Rule of Law, Human Rights and Democracy”.
In his autobiography, Justice Sinha writes about his early life, his appointment as the chief justice, separation of power and independence of the judiciary, 16th Amendment to the Constitution and its aftermath, ethical values of judges of the highest court and politicians, and the circumstances behind his resignation.
