Brick by brick, the government is taking apart all the democratic institutions of the country. It will be very difficult to undo the damage that has been done to the democratic institutions in the future.

This is nothing but a ploy to travel back to BAKSAL days under the cover of questionable democracy emerging from the farcical 5 January election. Actions of this Awami League government is totally dividing the country, putting Awami League on one side and the people on the other. Obviously, this will not bring any good for Awami League in the long run.

It is a strange country indeed! The 1972 constitution was actually better than what Bangladesh could handle. Thus came the ill-conceived actions of giving the president the power to impeach the SC judges in 1975 and the creation of a SJC by a military dictator through his rubber stamp parliament in 1979. Now the judges panic over the idea of restoring the 1972 constitutional provision that was actually sound.

A conflict between the court and the parliament has been going on for a long time. There should be perfect checks and balances among the three branches of government.
