Senior BNP leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury has launched a scathing criticism of the chief justice for his call to reprint the country's constitution in line with the Supreme Court verdict on the Fifth Amendment.
The standing committee member said chief justice A B M Khairul Haque took oath to uphold the constitution but his remark amounts to attempts to 'render the Jatiya Sangsad (parliament) and the constitution ineffective'.
The feisty opposition leader alleged the chief justice's Thursday call betrays his lack of confidence in parliament and called for decisions from across the political spectrum on the matter.
