BNP on Monday said Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami was denied justice as the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court dismissed the party’s appeal against the High Court verdict that scrapped its registration with the Election Commission as a political party.
Speaking at a virtual press briefing, party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi also said the instance of depriving anti-government political parties and political figures by giving ‘unjust’ verdicts against them is nothing new in Bangladesh.
“Even though the country’s people are not surprised by this verdict (against Jamaat), they’re dis-appointed with the politically biased statements and the incident of helping fulfil the wishes of the government by people involved with the judiciary, the last resort for justice,” he said.
The BNP leader said Jamaat has already described the verdict as ‘devoid of justice’.
