JASHORE : Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md Asaduzzaman today said the government is determined to remove all the roots of corruption in the judiciary.
“The independence of the judiciary is being discussed by citing the instance of Masdar Hossain. We do not want to build a corrupt judiciary like that of Masdar Hossain. We want to uproot all roots of graft in the judiciary,” he said.
The law minister made the remarks while speaking as the chief guest at the inauguration of the newly constructed building of the Jashore District Bar Association here.
He said many are raising questions about the July Charter, the National Human Rights Commission, the independence of the judiciary and the Judiciary Secretariat Act.
Each law will be scrutinised and brought to Parliament as a bill, he said.
