What is logical is not legal What is legal is not logical!
Having witnessed a full-day drama on the eviction of the Cantonment house by the Leader of the Opposition Begum Khaleda Zia, I realised the practical meaning of the saying, 'What is logical is not legal, what is legal is not logical”. Perhaps the Leader of the House could have intervened as a gesture of goodwill to assist her professional colleague, the Leader of the Opposition, bridging the gap between the legal and the logical requirements.
If the law declares staying of Begum Zia in the Cantonment residence illegal then she has to leave the house as she has already done respecting the rule of law. But the govt., appreciating Begum Zia's official standings, could have waited till after Eid-ul-Azha and for the higher court's verdict on the issue. After all, we are citizens of a democratic country where human values should get priority.
