An attempt is being made to gain political advantage by evading political responsibility and creating pressure on the court, alleged Mia Golam Parwar, secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.

He made the allegation in a statement issued yesterday in response to the High Court division of the Supreme Court issuing a four-week rule over matters related to the implementation of the July Charter.

According to the statement, the HC issued the rule regarding an order on the implementation of the July Charter, the oath-taking of a constitutional reform council, the question of a referendum, and 30 reform proposals adopted on the basis of consensus.

Golam Parwar said political issues should not be brought to the court. In the past, attempts to resolve political matters through judicial means did not yield positive outcomes; rather, they created confusion and stalemate in national life.

The Jamaat leader said the old tactic of using the court to secure desired outcomes must be abandoned. If the government retreats from its commitment to implement the July Charter, it would go against public expectations, he said.
