News - BNP hopes SC modifications and observations to HC verdict on Fifth Amendment will ensure political stability
Dhaka, Feb 2 (UNB) - BNP front ranking leader Barrister Moudud Ahmed MP who vainly fought against the High Court decision on the 5th amendment to the Constitution today hoped that modifications and observations by the Supreme Court in the High Court verdict will help remove the causes of anarchy, unrest and confrontations in the country.

He further hoped that the Supreme Court would make appropriate amendments and remove the inconsistencies in the HC verdict on the Fifth Amendment.

Engagement of the highest judiciary in the political issues might turn unfortunate to the nation, said veteran lawyer Moudud, in an apparent veiled caution. “We hope the highest judiciary will maintain its respectability.”

Moudud was speaking at a function in the city in the afternoon arranged by Dhaka based Senbag Jatiyatabadi Forum to accord reception to opposition chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farooque on his assumption as Publicity Secretary of BNP.

A former Law Minister, Moudud expressed disappointment at the Supreme Court dismissal of his petition to appeal against the High Court verdict that held the 5th amendment illegal and unlawful. The High Court decision might lead to the Constitutional complexities, he added.

He said the modifications in and observations upon the High Court verdict, to be given by the Supreme Court, showed the High Court decision was not correct. “So, we think the arguments we placed had logic and the court accepted them.”

Moudud expressed the hope that the Supreme Court’s modifications and observations on the High Court verdict will help remove the causes of anarchy, unrest, clashes and confrontation in the country. Some vital political matters are involved in the Fifth Amendment.

The BNP leader was also critical of the ruling party. He said the government is engaged in conspiracies against the nationalist forces and the interest of the country.
