SC verdict unacceptable: Khaleda

Thursday, September 20, 2012 BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia said on Thursday that former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque has committed a reprehensible job by giving separate verdicts before and after his retirement.
She also termed the Supreme Court verdict on caretaker government system unclear and unacceptable.
Khaleda said this at a press conference to give the views of BNP-led 18-party alliance on the full text of the verdict, which was released on Sunday.
The press conference was held at her Gulshan office in the capital.
The opposition's policymakers believe that the full text of the Supreme Court verdict is the reflection of prime minister's desire to hold the next general election under a small cabinet.
Khaleda had already declared that her party would not participate in the election if it is not held under a non party caretaker government, the provision of which was scrapped from the constitution in June last year.
Khaleda's series of district tours starts on Sunday from Dinajpur to drum up public support to compel the government to hold the election following the thirteenth amendment.
