Time to get tough on crimes against women, children: Anisul
DHAKA, July 10, 2019 (BSS) – Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs
Minister Anisul Huq today said it is time to get tough on any kinds of crimes
against women and children in the country.
“We all should take the current social situation into consideration and
become more watchful so that the culprits involved in crimes like rape cannot
secure bail from High Court,” he said while talking to newsmen after
distributing keys of vehicles among district and session judges on
Directorate of Registration premises in the capital.
The law minister assured all that legal proceedings in the cases similar
to Nusrat of Sonagazi, Feni, will be held swiftly after the filing of charge
sheet.
“But the situation at the High Court is little different. I have
information that lower courts have convicted many culprits in different
sensational cases, but the High Court has let them go on bail. I would talk
about such cases with Attorney General. I think now the time has come to get
tough on such crimes, keep such criminals behind bars,” Anisul further said.
While replying another question on the allegations raised by leaders of
BNP regarding the judiciary, the law minister said I think we should teach
them about law.
“They perhaps used to write the court judgements and from that
experience they are now raising baseless allegations. Now the judiciary is
completely free,” he added.
