No lawyer involved, says SCBA
Regrets AG comment on arrested lawyers
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Khandaker Mahbub Hossain yesterday claimed that no lawyers are involved in financing militant outfits.
I believe that no lawyers are involved in financing militancy. But, actions will be taken as per the law against three Supreme Court lawyers, arrested recently, if evidence is found that they did fund a militant organisation, the SCBA president stated at a briefing at his office.
Hossain said that the statement of the attorney general over the arrested lawyers is unfortunate. He also said they (authorities) already believe that the three lawyers are guilty.
The matter is now under trial. Such type of remark over a sub-judice matter is totally unfortunate and the lawyers felt ashamed following his (attorney general) comments, Hossain added.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam yesterday said that the involvement of the three lawyers in financing militancy is alarming.
