Stating that the issue of quota is under trial in the court, Law Minister Anisul Haque said that now the court will decide on this matter. Not the government.
He made this comment while talking to media persons at the Secretariat on Tuesday (July 9).
Commenting that the students are 'walking on the right path' as they applied to be a party in the pending case regarding quota, the law minister said that the incident is happening in the court. It will not be solved by protesting in the streets or shouting. If you do this, it may become contempt of court at some stage. The right place is, if they are biased and present their statement. Of course the Appellate Division will hear all the parties and the Appellate Division will give a fair trial. That is our hope and I think that will be the case.
He said, "As far as I know, when this case was heard in the High Court Division, those who are doing the anti-quota movement today did not appoint any lawyer to present their case to the court." They did not give their opinion there. After that the case was settled, the case is now in the Appellate Division. They did not have any lawyer there till yesterday.
Anisul Haque said, today I see that they have taken a positive step. I applaud it. Now they will give their statement in court. I would hope that since they have decided to go to court, they will withdraw the movement.
Regarding the movement of BNP demanding the release of Khaleda Zia, the Law Minister said, "I do not understand one thing, that is - Khaleda Zia is free, I cannot understand how to release this free person."
