No scope to put me on trial: Ershad
August 30, 2010
Former military autocrat Hussein Muhammad Ershad has claimed that no one can make him face trials.
“Those who are asking for my trial, has not read the High Court verdict properly. They are mentally ill,” Ershad suggested.
He made the claim while discussing the High Court’s verdict on the seventh amendment to the constitution with bdnews24.com, at his Rangpur residence on Sunday noon, following a meeting with the prime minister.
Pointing out that the verdict had legalised all the good initiatives during his regime and forgiven the rest, he said, “There is no scope to put me on trial.”
On Aug 26, the High Court declared illegal the Seventh Amendment that had legitimised the autocratic regime of military strongman HM Ershad.
Following the verdict, Ershad met with prime minister and Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina on Sunday. Jatiya Party is one of the major allies of the coalition government in power.
Jatiya Party presidium members Kazi Firoz Rashid told bdnews24.com that “Hussein Muhammad Ershad met the prime minister and discussed on ways to strengthen the Grand Alliance.”
