If you throw bricks you have to take brickbats, ZI Khan Panna on mob

Senior lawyer of the Supreme Court ZI Khan Panna has said the country has come from a mob political culture. In the current situation it is important to remember that if you throw bricks you have to take brickbats.

He said these words as the chief guest at a discussion meeting on public interest litigation organised by Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK). This meeting was held at the Daily Star auditorium on Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue of the capital on Saturday morning (November 14). Executive Director of ASK Tahmina Rahman moderated the meeting.

ZI Khan Panna said mob is a terrible aspect of politics. Something even more terrible may be waiting for us in the future.

He said an incident of fire has taken place at the residence of an MP. If this has been set then it is certainly a terrible incident.

This senior lawyer said one of our own lawyers was going to KFC with his family. On the way Jubo Dal carried out a mob on him and called the police and handed them over to them. These are terrible matters for us. Therefore it should be remembered that brickbats may have to be taken in the future.

At the discussion meeting he further said everyone has to work unitedly from their respective positions on the issue of public interest litigation. And work has to be done to make the law more up-to-date regarding deaths in custody.
