Barrister Andalib Rahman Partho believes Chief Justice SK Sinha has been removed in the name of vacation. Andalib Rahman is the chairman of Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) and one of the top leaders of BNP-led 20-party alliance. The politician talks with this reporter about various issues including the current political crisis and the next election. The interview was presented here.Regarding the Chief Justice’s vacation, Andalib Rahman Partho said, spending vacation is people’s own choice. Everyone now understands that it’s not a real vacation. Pressure and some other reasons must be working behind this vacation, no doubt.In the very first, it is said that chief justice is sick. But he, on the day was leaving country, said that he is not sick, he is doing fine. Therefore, time will tell the reasons that caused him to go abroad. Responding to another question he said, there might be a discussion about ‘how and what’ to do to join poll after announcing a poll-time ‘supportive government’. But we will not join poll if present situation exists. According to Partho, the ongoing political problems of the country will not be solved through the dialogue conducted by Election Commission. Because the crisis that our country is now facing has been created by politicians. We only can expect form EC of conducting a credible election with all its power, EC cannot resolve political crisis since it has no way to engage in politics. Only politicians can solve this crisis politically.
