Former minister Moudud said, "The BNP thinks the two ministers will resign from the Cabinet and Parliament without any hesitation in order to safeguard the Supreme Court's dignity and image." The Supreme Court fined Food Minister Qamrul and Liberation War Affairs Minister Mozammel six months ago for contempt of court by remarking on war crimes trial. 'Frustrated' at no official reaction from the government to the Supreme Court verdict, Moudud said the situation has created a 'constitutional crisis'. Asked what the law would have to say if the two ministers do not step down, the former law minister said, "It's a Supreme Court verdict. Let's see what the Supreme Court does."
