Pro-AL lawyers condemn BNP chief's remark on former CJ

Pro-Awami League lawyers have strongly protested and condemned the statement of opposition leader Khaleda Zia about former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque.
On August 31, Khaleda Zia said Justice Khairul had "nullified the caretaker government system for money".
Sammilita Ainjibi Samannay Parishad (SASP), a forum of pro-AL lawyers, also termed Khaleda's remark indecent and intentional, says a statement.
The judgments and decisions delivered by Justice Khairul Haque were acclaimed at home and abroad, SASP leaders said at a meeting in the city Monday.
The opposition chief's statement not only plays down Justice Khairul Haque, but aims to obstruct the cases regarding war crimes, August 21 grenade attack, 10-truck arms haul, and misappropriation of state money by Zia Orphanage Trust, they said.
The meeting was held at the residence of SASP Convener Barrister M Amir-ul-Islam in the city's Concord Tower where Law Minister Shafique Ahmed, Home Minister Sahara Khatun, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam, AL leader Advocate Yusuf Hossain Humayun, State Minister for Law Qamrul Islam, SASP Member Secretary Subrata Chowdhury, former law minister Abdul Matin Khasru, and Deputy Attorney General Motahar Hossain Saju, among others, were present.
