Adviser on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Asif Nazrul commented that it may be possible to hold elections by 2025.
On Thursday night, during the presentation of Manab Zamin Chief Editor Matiur Rahman Chowdhury, he took part in Channel I's today's newspaper program and said these things. After giving a glimpse of the Chief of Army Staff General Waqar-uz-Zaman's time on the elections, he spoke directly about the election time of any Adviser.
Dr. Asif Nazrul in the discussion program said that the Digital Security Act will be repealed.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 Crimes Tribunal.
Regarding the trial of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he referred to the prisoner exchange agreement and said that 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 filing of dumping cases, Dr. Asif Nazrul said that there were cases of absenteeism with the help of the previous government. These were done by the police. The cases used to be against people of the then opposition party. Now there is a pouring case. Those who have been tortured before are filing this case. The interim government is working to ensure that innocent people are not punished in these cases.
Noting that there will be a case against the journalists in the International Crimes Tribunal, he said, if they are not responsible, they will not be tried in the special tribunal. In response to a question about the banning of 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 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 prices of essentials. He said that the price of vegetables 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 the syndicate.
He said, but I can say that the situation will improve in the future. Improvements have been made in many areas. In response to another question, he said that a judge during the previous government said he was a sworn politician. Many others have done many things.
There were so many enforced 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. 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. He has been serving in the advisory board for 70 days, and asked if there was any mistake, he said it could be wrong because I have less experience. But I can say that I did not do wrong. I may be wrong in principle. But I did not do any work for personal interest.
In response to another question, he said, "We are in the process of repealing the entire Digital Security Act." People cannot hear these names.
In response to a question about Shakib Al Hasan, he said that popular cricketers like Shakib have not come to Bangladesh. But when the movement started people are dying, Shakib posted that he was enjoying somewhere. He said that expatriates were treated very badly when they went to the airport. My dream was to give them VIP facilities. I have taken the initiative to have a separate lounge for them. It will be in two to three weeks. Courtesy: The Manab Zamin.
