Bangladesh’s Law Minister Md. Anisul Haque announced that a total of 23,865 politically motivated cases, allegedly filed to harass citizens, have been withdrawn. He made the statement in parliament on Wednesday in response to a question from ruling party MP S M Jahangir Hossain. The minister added that the process of withdrawing the remaining politically influenced cases is ongoing after proper verification.
Responding to supplementary questions, the minister said that individuals acquitted by the court and proven innocent must be treated according to the law, as it is their fundamental right. He also noted that in the past, many teachers and even deceased persons had been named in politically motivated cases. Some cases were also filed against persons with disabilities and political leaders.
The minister urged affected individuals to apply through their respective ministries or departments for case withdrawal. He clarified that while the law ministry is aware of the issue, the matter does not fall directly under its jurisdiction.
