No law of \\\'illegitimate govt\\\' will last: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has hinted at revoking the broadcast policy and Parliament's powers to sack Supreme Court judges once her party goes back to power. ‘All Acts by this illegitimate government are illegal and won't last long,’ she told a programme on Monday night at her Gulshan office. Criticising the National Broadcast Policy 2014, Khaleda said it aimed at ‘controlling the media’, an allegation the ruling party has been denying outright. ‘The Awami League has illegally occupied power and enacting laws one after the other. And now, they are going to hand over power to impeach judges to the illegitimate Parliament to establish control over the judiciary,’ she alleged. The Cabinet on Aug 18 accepted proposal to amend the Constitution allowing Parliament to sack Supreme Court judges. Monday's programme was organised to exchange views with the BNP-endorsed Upazila Parishad elections winners in Rangpur Division. In eight districts of the division, candidates loyal to the BNP won 24 chairman, 14 vice-chairman, and 24 female vice-chairman posts in 58 Upazilas, according to bdnews24.com.
