AL hails SC verdict on constitution
Ruling Awami League (AL) yesterday hailed the Supreme Court Verdict that upheld the High Court Verdict declaring the seventh amendment to the constitution illegal.
“We hail the highest court judgment and all including Ershad should accept the verdict,” AL Presidium Member Obaidul Quader said in an immediate reaction to The Daily Star.
He said after the SC verdict the possibility of taking power by the extra constitutional forces would be reduced.
Replying to a query, the AL policymaker said it is the parliament that would take decision about the punishment to Ershad in light of the verdict.
Meanwhile, AL Presidium Member Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury will act as the president of AL as the party chief Sheikh Hasina, also the prime minister, yesterday left for Switzerland to attend World Metrological Congress and World Health Conference in Geneva.
