Pro-BNP lawyers intentionally created chaos in the High Court recently to "obliterate" the judiciary and to tarnish the court's image, said ruling Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif yesterday.
He was speaking at a discussion organised by Swadhinata Chikitsak Parishad, a pro-AL doctor's organisation, in the National Museum auditorium marking the National Mourning Day, to be observed on August 15.
Health and Family Welfare Minister AFM Ruhal Haque chaired the programme where Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury was the chief guest.
Hanif said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia insulted the 30 lakh martyrs and two lakh war heroines of the War of Liberation in 1971 by making the derogatory comment on the constitution.
Khaleda on July 13 at a BNP-sponsored mass hunger strike stated that the amended (15th) constitution is nothing but AL manifesto which will be thrown away, if BNP returned to power.
Matia said Bangabandhu granted general clemency to war criminals, excluding those who engaged in arson, looting, rape and murder. "It is Ziaur Rahman who freed 22,000 collaborators in 1975," she said.
Matia, also an AL presidium member, alleged that a vested quarter is trying to hinder the war crimes trial.
Later, a special prayer was offered seeking salvation of the departed souls of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members.
