Adviser Fazlul irked by comment to watch neutrality
Staff Correspondent
Adviser to the caretaker government former justice Fazlul Haque yesterday came down heavily on the political parties for setting a deadline for the advisers to prove their neutrality and keeping their activities under watch."I'll object to this. We don't have any link with politics. These kinds of statements are very objectionable," the former judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court told reporters yesterday while talking on the AL-led 14-party's reaction after the advisers took oath Tuesday night. AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil Tuesday night told journalists that the 14-party would follow the activities of the advisers to ascertain whether they play a neutral role for a free and fair election. "Why would we be under observation? What crime have we done by taking oath for conducting the election in a free and fair manner? What does this mean?" Adviser Fazlul said. "Those who make these kind of statements are inviting dangers to the country. Do they expect harm is done to the country?" He also objected to specifying a deadline for the caretaker government to prove its neutrality. "These kind of statements are very bad for the country," he said.
