Also free the judiciary from corruption, and subservience to a party and its mentor country, so that injustice and wilful miscarriage of justice are no longer perpetrated to promote the wicked, and so that the judiciary is freed from being a party to the wicked!

"Free the country from violence": High Court
A High Court bench came down on politicians across the spectrum, pinning them responsible for anarchy on the streets that's threatening to shatter any semblance of normal life in the country.
The High Court (HC) bench, comprising Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md Anwar-ul Haque, observed, "Allah has given us two hands to work, but we, in Bangladesh, use one hand to attack others and the other to fend off attacks on us." "How can a country make any progress, if the situation is like this?" the HC bench wondered, perhaps echoing the thoughts of millions of Bangladeshi citizens, as valuable workdays are wasted over violent hartals and counter-actions.
The HC bench made the observations, on Tuesday, while hearing bail pleas from opposition chief whip Zainul Abdin Farroque and BNP lawmaker Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papia. The court, later, granted anticipatory bails to both Farroque and Papia, for three months.
As per HC direction, the commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police brought Farroque to the court on Tuesday, at about 10.30 am, in a Untied Hospital ambulance. Later, the authorities produced Farroque before the HC bench at 10.50 am, carrying him on a stretcher.
Considering the state of Farroque's health, the court, after five minutes of his appearance, allowed the opposition chief whip to return to the ambulance for the remaining part of Tuesday's hearing.
Barrister Moudud Ahmed, who appeared on behalf of party colleague Farroque, told HC that his client had been seriously assaulted by police on the first day of the 48-hour countrywide hartal, last week.
This was when the HC bench said, "We've been observing this practice for ages."
"Today, you (BNP) are suffering. They (Awami League) had suffered, too, when you were in power. They might suffer again, if you come back to power," the HC bench added, pointing to barrister Moudud Ahmed.
"We don't want to see this any more. Please, both of you Ahmeds (law minister Shafique and barrister Moudud) should free us from this," the HC bench said.
The court said that the members of law enforcement agencies would not stop Farroque from going abroad for treatment.
Moudud said, "Such oppressive practices have now increased alarmingly."
To this, the HC bench retorted, "Once such practices are started, they can only increase."
Moudud only obliquely remarked, "Earlier, we were in an analogue system. Now, we are into a digital system."
Moudud, later, told reporters that his client would go abroad for medical treatment, as early as possible. He also said that those who ordered the assault were more responsible than the police officials themselves.
The BNP leader is currently receiving treatment at Dhaka's United Hospital.

Barrister Moudud Ahmed, advocate Khandker Mahbub Hossain, barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokan and advocate Joynul Abedin appeared for the petitioners, while deputy attorney general Mohammad Ullah Kislu opposed the bail prayer. On July 7, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police filed a case, accusing 10-12 people, including the opposition chief whip, for assaulting and obstructing police officials on duty.
