HC wants to know govt’s plan regarding Suhrawardy Udyan

The High Court (HC) asked government to inform the court about its planning regarding Suhrawardy Udyan, where Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his historic speech on March 7, 1971.

A High Court bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Quader passed the order on Wednesday.

Hearing in the issue would be held in next Tuesday.

Former Secretary of the Supreme Court Lawyers Association Dr Bashir Ahmed had filed the writ petition in 2017.

Later, the High Court on November 20, 2017, had issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain in three weeks as to why March 7 shall not be declared as Historic National Day.
