Opposition BNP leaders on Tuesday said people's lack of confidence in the judiciary had led to Monday's killing of six youths at Savar.
Expressing grief at the death of the students, who were taken for robbers, the leaders of Bangladesh Nationalist Party said people had lost confidence in the judiciary and taken laws into their own hands.
It is because the entire judiciary has been politicised, they said while addressing a roundtable on 'Use and misuse of law' organised by the Centre for Democracy and Peace Studies at the National Press Club in the capital.
Chaired by BNP vice-chairman Abdullah Al Noman, the programme was also addressed by Supreme Court Bar Association president Khandakar Mahbub Hossain, party's standing committee member Mahbubur Rahman, poet Abdul Hai Shikder and researcher AKM Abu Siddiqui.
Supreme Court Bar Association's treasurer Fahima Nasreen Munni presented the keynote paper at the discussion attended by politicians, lawyers and journalists.
Noman said the present government, in the name of establishing rule of law and through misuse of magistracy power, was pushing the country towards anarchy.
