Don't harass people; go to court, law minister asks strikers
Terming the enforcement of transport strike ‘sad’, law minister Anisul Huq on Tuesday asked the workers to take the matter up with the court.
The minister was speaking at a news briefing at his secretariat office in Dhaka following the verdict on Japanese citizen Kunio Hoshi murder.
He lauded the verdict as a speedily resolved murder case in the legal history of Bangladesh.
Transport workers have been enforcing strike in the southwestern region for past few days protesting against sentencing a driver life-term in a road accident case.
Answering a question whether the strike is tantamount to contempt of court, Anisul Huq said it is up to the court.
