BNP chairperson and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Khaleda Zia said Saturday that the protest and uprising against injustice, misrule and autocracy of the government would ensue from Saturday's rally, reports UNB.
"I sincerely believe that the protest and uprising against injustice, irregularities, misrule and autocracy will ensue from this lawyers' conference," she said as the chief guest at a lawyers' grand conference held at the Supreme Court.
Lawyers from across the country attended the day-long conference. BNP chairperson's adviser advocate TH Khan was in the chair.
Khaleda Zia, also former Prime Minister, called upon the lawyers' community to play a courageous role to keep people alert and united during the upcoming movement.
"We have ousted misrule through struggle in the past. We will have to come across arduous days in the critical juncture of the nation," she said.
Accusing the present government of impeding the rule of law, Khaleda said an evil design was on to push the country into a mess of savagery. "So, lawyers' duty and responsibility to preserve an unhindered, independent and smooth judicial system is important in this regard," she added.
