Pro-BNP faction of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) today protested against declaring Attorney General AM Amin Uddin as the new president of the organisation without an election.
The action of the SCBA s Vice President Muhammad Shafique Ullah declaring senior lawyer AM Amin Uddin as the new president of the bar association on May 4 without any election is contradictory to its constitution, said SCBA Secretary Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal, also leader of its pro-BNP faction.
He was speaking at a press conference organised by the pro-BNP faction under the banner of SCBA at its auditorium.

Ramana took over as the 48th Chief Justice of India shows a rejuvenation happening within the Supreme Court in its role as the guardian of rights of ordinary people.
The court has not flinched while ordering a reluctant Uttar Pradesh government to shift journalist Siddique Kappan to Delhi for medical treatment. It has talked straight and true to the Centre about the lapses in managing a devastating second COVID-19 wave which has cost precious lives, especially in the National Capital.
