"I may have violated my oath of office to defend the Constitution, but I did not do it intentionally," was how the Liberation War affairs minister reacted on Saturday. His remarks come two days after the top court published the full verdict, convicting him and Food Minister Qamrul Islam for their remarks on hearings of a war criminal's appeal. "They have acted in violation of law and are in breach of their oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”Food Minister Qamrul is yet to make any remarks after the full verdict was published on Thursday. Qamrul and Mozammel have 'no right' to be ministers after the top court's observation, said Supreme Court lawyer Shahdeen Malik. Law Minister Anisul Huq has already said, “The ministers will have to personally decide the next course of action".
