Accountability of judges
Bangladesh emerged as an independent country on 26 March '71 but, in fact, the glorious victory was achieved on 16 December '71 in a ceremony at Dhaka Recourse Maiden when the Pakistani occupation forces were compelled to surrender to our valiant freedom fighters. The Bengalee nation achieved independence at the cost of millions of lives 33 years ago.
In an independent state like ours people are desperately looking forward to an exploitation and terrorism free society, equality of treatment and protection of Constitutional and Human Rights. If the state cannot ensure the democratic rights and economic emancipation of the people, the hard earned independence is bound to be useless.
So the first thing we have to ensure is separation of the judiciary from the executive in order to establish the rule of law in society without further delay.
