Govt interfered in Jail Killing Case

AL claims in House to have evidence of it

Staff Correspondent
The main opposition Awami League in parliament yesterday launched a
blistering attack on the government accusing it of interfering in the trial of the historic Jail Killing Case.
Taking floor on point of order senior AL lawmakers claimed they have evidence of Interference in the trial by the government and demanded of the Speaker to hold a discussion on the Issue in the House.
Initiating the attack frontline AL leader Mohammad Nasim said he has evidence enough of the law, justice and parliamentary affairs ministry's interference in the trial.
In this connection Nasim said, "The government replaced the previous public prosecutor with a new one who was partial to and acted in favour of the defendants in the case," to which AL lawmakers shouted - shame, shame.
But Law Minister Moudud Ahmed termed Nasim’s speech 'politically motivated' and 'completely out of order'. He said he would reply to the allegations if the opposition submits a formal notice.
Moudud also demanded the Speaker to expunge Nasim's speech from the House proceedings.
When, in face of repeated attack from the opposition bench, the law minister tried again to take the floor to counter the accusations. Local Government and Rural Development Minister Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan restrained him.
Speaker Jamir Udddin Sircar expunged Nasim's speech from the House proceedings. He also declined to allow any discussion on the issue terming the matter
subjudice.
The Speaker's decision of expunction of Nasim's speech prompted the AI. lawmakers to burst into protest against the chair that sparked a spell of heat in the House.
Taking the floor AL lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta said the state's role as prosecutor in criminal cases has lost all credibility due to the 'naked’ intervention in the Jail Killing Case. "The law ministry has played a dishonourable role to save the killers rather than proving the case."
He reiterated the AL demand of the Speaker to hold a discussion on it for the sake of establishing rule of law in the country.
As the Speaker again turned down the opposition demand for a discussion saying the matter is subjudice, AL lawmaker Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim taking the floor said the Speaker has the right to allow a discussion on the issue at the stage. "We want to discuss about the irregularities in handling the case not about the verdict"
The Speaker also asked the opposition deputies to submit a notice on the issue. When AL lawmakers said they already have submitted that, the Speaker said he would examine it.
