BNP to stage protest prog against JS power to impeach judges

BNP is planning to announce a programme protesting the government’s move to restore parliament’s power to impeach Supreme Court judges.
“The party high command is thinking to announce action programmes against the government’s attempt to restore the power of removing judges by an unrepresentative parliament,” said BNP Dhaka city unit convener Mirza Abbas, according to a news agency.
Talking to reporters at his Shahjahanpur residence, he also claimed that the 20-party’s two programmes, protesting Israeli offensive in Gaza and national broadcast policy, in the city were very successful as huge people participated in those.
Abbas, also a BNP standing committee member, briefed the journalists about various issues relating to the formation of the new committee of the Dhaka city unit BNP and party’s movement plan.
He alleged that the ruling party leaders are instigating the opposition leaders and activists to indulge in violence in a bid to file more ‘false’ cases.
