Awami League Advisory Council Member Suranjit Sengupta has taken a serious exception to the High Court (HC)'s observations on election-time interim government, reports bdnews24.com.
He made the comment while speaking at a discussion in the city on Friday.
Sengupta, the chief of the standing committee on law, justice and parliamentary affairs ministry, said the court has 'no scope' to make observations on the issue. He said the HC made certain observations while pronouncing the verdict declaring the January 5, 2014 election legal.
"But the HC is not a place to write novels," the senior parliamentarian added.
He said there was no 'constitutional or democratic crisis' in the country. "It is clearly mentioned in the Constitution how the elections should be conducted." "High Court...Supreme Court...you have said how many members will be there in the (polls-time) government?..But it is not you who can say this," Sengupta said.
"The prime minister will decide the matter as the executive head," he added.
