Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday agreed with alems and ulemas of the Qawmi Madrasas that the statue of the Greek goddess Themis on the Supreme Court premises should be removed.  She personally thinks the statue should not be there. “To speak the truth, I don’t like it myself. It’s a Greek statue, but how will a Greek statue get here? Moreover, the Greek statue has been adorned with a sari. That too is ridiculous,” the premier said at a meeting with the leaders of the Qawmi Madrasas at her official residence Ganabhaban yesterday. The premier also told the leaders present at the meeting that she will be taking necessary steps to remove the statue from the court premises.  “I’ll sit for talks with the chief justice over this soon. So I’ll ask you to be patient and not agitate. We’ll do everything here possible,” she said. Hefajat-e Islam Ameer Shah Ahmad Shafi was present at the meet as the chief representative of the madrasa leaders. Islamist hardliners including the Hefajat leaders have been demonstrating demanding the removal of the statue. Hardliners say the statue, a variation of Themis in a sari, goes against Islam. According to them, the statue amounts to idolatry.
