BNP has no respect for rule of law: Anisul

Law Minister Anisul Huq said on Thursday BNP does not have any respect for the rule of law citing the party's lawyers' unprecedented chaos inside courtroom at Appellate Division, reports BSS.

"I strongly condemn the contemptuous behaviour inside courtroom by BNP lawyers and some of their supporters who came from outside and attempt to create anarchy during hearing on Khaleda Zia's bail plea at the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court," he said.

The minister made the comments while speaking at a press briefing at his Gulshan residence in the afternoon.

Anisul said it was also seen in past that whenever any court order, judgment goes against them, BNP lawyers and their outsider supporters try to create chaotic situation in court.

Earlier in the morning, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) adjourned until December 12 the hearing on bail plea filed by BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia in Zia Charitable Trust graft case.

"Let this matter appear in the list on December 12, 2019, for hearing," said a six-member apex court bench headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain.
