Pro-BNP lawyer’s forum today demanded resignation and arrest of Law Commission Chairman ABM Khairul Haque for his comment on the 16th amendment verdict.

Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum, in a press conference, also announced for a three-day demonstration and protest programmes at all bar association offices across the country.

“We start protest from Sunday to press for our demands including publishing of the gazette on lower court judges, Mahbub Uddin Khokon, secretary general of the forum, announced.

Calling up on the lawyers to observe the programmes, Khokon, also joint secretary general of BNP, said the people who believe in the country’s rule of law, constitution and democracy will take part in the programme.

“As a public servant, Haque has some limitations on making statements and a code of conduct that should be follows by him,” he said at the press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan headquarters.
