Duta in a statement said, "His remarks in an interview with the television channels on Wednesday frustrated us." He might have a political leaning but his aggressive and threatening speech not only questions the neutrality of the caretaker government but also indicates its evil plot, the statement added.

Duta urged President and Chief Adviser Prof Iajuddin Ahmed and other advisers to ensure a congenial atmosphere for a free and fair election rather than expressing their personal opinion and philosophy.

Samajik Protirodh Committee also condemned and protested the indecent speech of Justice Haq.

Bangabandhu Jubo Parishad demanded removal of Justice Haq from the government immediately.

In a joint statement, President journalist Akhter Ahmed Khan and General Secretary M Rezaul Karim Khan Reza said it is not possible to run a caretaker government with a politically affiliated man.
