Defence counsel Shishir Manir says the manner in which the BNP government has abolished the Supreme Court Secretariat, established during the tenure of the interim government, amounts to contempt of court.

He said the government's rushed decision to dismantle the secretariat and return officials to the law ministry -- before securing a stay order from the Appellate Division -- sent a negative message to the public over the administration's attitude towards the judiciary.
