Attorney General Advocate Asaduzzaman, speaking about constitutional amendments and court verdicts, said it is impossible to predict in advance what a verdict will be.
“It is difficult to understand a judge’s mind and a woman’s mind. No one knows when they may turn in which direction.” Therefore, until a verdict is delivered, it is not possible to assume any inclination in favor of or against any side.
Speaking at a discussion titled “The Contribution of Poet Golam Mostafa to Bengali Literature” in Shailkupa, Jhenaidah, on Friday (14 November) evening, he made these remarks.
Regarding the political tension centering around the verdict, the Attorney General said, “We have observed that the Awami League has announced various programs centering the verdict. We are monitoring that as well. Whatever legal steps are necessary will be taken. It is already known that the Awami League is listed as a banned entity. Therefore, any type of program will be considered illegal.
The law will run its own course and proceed accordingly.”
He further said, “I don’t think this will affect law and order during the upcoming election. Many Awami League leaders have already realized that when they flee with party members and family, countless activists remain unprotected. So they know what risks they may or may not take.”
Asaduzzaman said that all political parties have already accepted the referendum. In the constitutional amendment case, he told the court that the authority to determine the country’s constitution and laws lies in the hands of the victorious force. As examples, he cited the 1972 Constitution formulated after the Liberation War, the 1990 mass uprising, and the recent referendum. In this way, constitutions and referendums play a role in establishing law and justice in the country.
The Attorney General said that through referendum and constitutional determination, the people of the country will show the path for the future. “This is not only a legal matter but also an important element of the country’s political history.”
