Law Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul on Saturday said they want to establish true justice and want to get out of the culture of filing blanket cases.

"We want to establish true justice. We want to get out of the culture of filing blanket cases, using the judiciary to harass people, destroying people's livelihoods, and creating continuous grievances, anger, and discord among people," the Law adviser said.

"People come to the judges asking for justice. They (judges) feel embarrassed. Why do you feel embarrassed? The people seeking justice have come to you after finding no justice elsewhere. How can you feel embarrassed?” he asked, addressing the judges of the High Court.

"You felt embarrassed to accept the appeal of the current Chief Advisor Dr Yunus. Why did you feel that way? Isn't it your duty? Isn't it your constitutional duty? You can listen (hold the hearing) and reject it. That's not a problem. Your reputation has been tarnished by some judges,” added Asif.

“Don't say these things anymore. People are not fools," he also said, "The fascist government started the culture of false and blanket cases. We want to get out of that. Many have been subjected to blanket cases."
