Access to justice is one of govt's goals: Anisul

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq on Tuesday said one of the goals of the present government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is to ensure people's access to justice, reports BSS.

"It is also one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the government is earnestly working to implement this goal. The government has emphasized on digitization to ensure access to justice. We have already introduced digitization to a limited extent at the Supreme Court and lower courts across the country," he said.

The minister said this while addressing as chief guest the parallel session-1 of 2nd national conference on reviewing progress on implementation of SDGs at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC).

The law minister said it is a matter of pride for the nation that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was given SDG Progress Award 2021.
