Earlier in June, seven Deputy Attorneys General and 11 Assistant Attorneys General, backed by Jamaat-e-Islami, submitted their resignations collectively in protest against government decisions.
Deputy Attorney General Tarikul Islam, one of those who resigned at the time, confirmed the matter to the media, saying they had stepped down in protest against the government’s failure to implement the July Charter and its decisions to repeal ordinances on the Supreme Court Secretariat and the appointment of Supreme Court judges.
