Anisul rules out possibility of any diplomatic crisis in Bangladesh

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said on Monday that there is no possibility of any diplomatic crisis in the country.

“There was a concern in your mind that a diplomatic crisis could take place. But after the election, even you, the people, have seen that there is no such possibility of any diplomatic crisis in the country,” Anisul said while talking to newsmen at the ministry on Monday afternoon.

The law minister briefed the newsmen after coming out of the meeting with Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma at his secretariat office.

“It is necessary to always clarify the application of laws and provisions in the development partnership with India as our neighbouring country. Apart from these, the legal infrastructures of Bangladesh and India have been almost similar for a long time. So, we always discuss the possibilities of bringing the changes already made by India in their legal infrastructures to Bangladeshi ones and vice versa. We held that discussion on Monday also,” Anisul added.

He further talked about seeking guidance from India in constructing Bangladesh’s National Judicial Academy.

"India has the national judicial academy in Bhopal, where our 1,206 judicial officers have taken training so far. Around 2,000 officers would take training from there. We are going to set up our National Judicial Academy, and we would need their experience in this regard. We have discussed this as well,” the law minister said.
