The judiciary of Bangladesh is very strong and capable of maintaining the rule of law, Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha has told an international news platform based in India. He gave the interview to The World Is One News (WION) by telephone for its news report “Bangladesh Chief Justice confined?”, which was published on Thursday. “Our judiciary is strong and independent (and) the Bangladesh government is committed to upholding the country’s democracy and rule of law,” the chief justice said. On Tuesday, the chief justice wrote to President Hamid informing him that he wished to visit Australia from October 13 to November 10. A day later, the president signed a government order granting the chief justice and his wife permission to leave Bangladesh.
