He said this while addressing the ‘International Conference on Judiciary Across the Borders’ programme at the Supreme Court Auditorium in the capital on Saturday (8 June), as the chief guest.
The minister advocated that the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina government always believes in the freedom of the judiciary division and is keen to ensure professional facilities and freedom of judges in conducting judiciary.
“The country’s national progress is well-established on the basis of justice, democracy and the rule of law and the current government is committed to the principles,” he said.
The Sheikh Hasina government has relentlessly been working hard to establish the rule of law in the light of the constitution scripted by Bangabandhu, the minister said, adding that as a result the rule of the law has been established in almost all sectors and the judges have been discharging their duties with freedom and honesty.
