Dhaka, Apr 28 Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday again said the three organs of the State — legislature, judiciary and executive — will have to work with an understanding for successfully running the state and urged all concerned to remain alert in this regard.
“A state could never be run properly if one of these (organs) accuses others…everyone should remain alert about it,” she said.The Prime Minister said this while addressing a function marking the National Legal Aid Day at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital.
“So, none of the three state organs could move single-handedly as all of these would have to move maintaining understanding. I’ll only say that none should forget this that the state should have to be run properly taking all together,” she added.
Claiming that her government has been doing whatever necessary for establishing justice in society, Hasina urged the judges and lawyers to come forward with the mindset of rendering services to people.
‘It’s not possible to reduce the sufferings of those people seeking justice by merely enacting laws and enhancing infrastructural facilities,” she added.
The National Legal Aid Day is being observed today across the country aiming to make people aware of the legal assistance provided by the government to the poor, insolvent, and destitute justice seekers.
Chaired by Law Minister Anisul Huq, the function was addressed among others, by Law and Justice Division Secretary ASSM Zahirul Haque.
