Law Minister Anisul Huq said, discussion is going on to bring back BNP’s Acting Chairperson Tarique Rahman in the country. There is no obstacle to bring him back though Dhaka has no prisoner exchange treaty with London.

He said these while inaugurating the 141st training course for the senior assistant judges and same level judiciary officers held at the Judicial Administration Training Institute on Sunday. The program was presided over by Director General of Judicial Administration Training Institute Justice Khondoker Musa Khaled.

The Law Minister said, we can bring back some criminals under Mutual Legal Assistance Act in absence of prisoner exchange treaty. The Mutual Legal Assistance Act is available between these two countries. It is a law fixed by the United Nations and this type of cooperation exists between the countries.

He said, after getting draft approval for Road Transport Act 2017 from the cabinet discussions are going on with three ministries. As it is a very important law so we are consulting with different stake holders. In the draft law focus was not paid on license less drivers-this cannot be said in generally. We are trying to watch out A to Z of transport sector. The Road Transport Act 2017 will be placed before parliament in the budget session.

The Law Minister further said, we should look into three to four matters so that accidents are not occurred. Training for the drivers, obtaining license, fitness of vehicles and condition of roads. It takes time to formulate a complete law considering situation. Every aspects related to transport sector are being included in the law. I am very sorry over the frequency of road accidents. I just want to say, when a case comes to the court and such exemplary punishment should be given so that vehicle owners and drivers can understand that nobody will be spared.
