A writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court,
challenging the legality of AK Abdul Momen holding the office of the Foreign
Minister.
On behalf of SC advocate Md Ershad Hossain Rashed, lawyer
Mostafizur Rahman Ahad filed the petition in the High Court division of the top
court on Tuesday.
A High Court bench, led by Justice Md Mojibur Rahman Mia, is
likely to hear the petition, said Mostafizur.
On August 21, SC lawyer Ershad sent a legal notice to the
Foreign Minister urging him to step down within 48 hours for violating the
Constitution over his "controversial remarks".
"As I did not receive any response from the Foreign
Minister, I decided to file the writ petition," Ershad said.
The cabinet secretary, secretary of parliament secretariat,
and the foreign minister has been made respondents to this writ petition.
The petition is enlisted in the court’s cause list for
Wednesday, he said.
At a Janmashtami programme in Chattogram on Thursday, Momen
reportedly said that he had urged the Indian government to back Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina so that she can stay in power.
After much criticism over this statement, the FM provided an
explanation the next day, saying that he had requested the Indian government to
help the Bangladesh PM maintain the stability of her government.
