Jhenaidah: Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md Asaduzzaman announced that the government will make a decision on whether Bangladesh will join the Mecca Pact after thoroughly assessing all relevant aspects.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the minister made these comments while addressing journalists following a reception for meritorious students at Jhenaidah Collectorate School and College, where he was the chief guest. The event was presided over by Deputy Commissioner Md Noman Hossain, with Rashed Khan, the Prime Minister's Political Assistant, in attendance as a special guest.
During his remarks, the law minister emphasized that Bangladesh will make its decision based on its own policy, independent of India's actions. "India will move like India, and Bangladesh will move like Bangladesh," he stated, highlighting the importance of sovereign policy-making.
Addressing concerns on the country's law and order situation, Asaduzzaman noted that while satisfaction with the current situation is not the focus, the government is committed to maintaining normalcy through continuous efforts. He also mentioned ongoing initiatives by the government and the Ministry of Law to introduce an e-judiciary system, aimed at digitizing the judicial process in Bangladesh, with plans for implementation within the next year.
The reception was attended by several prominent figures, including District BNP President M A Majid, General Secretary Zahiduzzaman Mona, Vice-President Munshi Kamal Azad Pannu, Joint General Secretary Abdul Majid Biswas, and Shailkupa upazila BNP General Secretary Humayun Babar Firoz, along with other leaders and activists from the BNP and its affiliated organizations.
