The Supreme Court Bar Association president, Khandker Mahbub Hossain, on Wednesday asked the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, to step down voluntarily.
'Don't do excess anymore, step down willingly, otherwise, face dire consequences for clinging on to power,' he said.
Speaking at a meeting of pro-BNP lawyers in front of the Supreme Court entrance during Wednesday's hartal, Mahbub also demanded midterm elections and restoration of the repealed provision of non-party caretaker government to oversee free and fair election.
Mahbub, also adviser to the BNP chairperson, was critical of the incumbent government's rule, saying it is not possible to hang on to power in perpetuity, using RAB and police.
Earlier, the pro-BNP lawyers tried to take to street from the Supreme Court precincts, but the standby riot police foiled the move without any unpleasant situation.
