Independent young lawyears speak up. These days it is hard to find a newspaper story on lawyears who are without any party affiliation. Here is a new group that emerged who are not with any Ainjibi parishad and are relatively young. These are the voices that can change Bangladesh.

Today, the entire fabric of our society is under imminent threat, subject to repeated attacks and being rent asunder by extremist forces bent on imposing their totalitarian and intolerant views upon the entire population. Constitutionalism, rule of law and each and every organ of the State, i.e. the legislature, the judiciary and the executive, are under direct physical attack.

In this context, we call upon those in the current administration committed to keeping alive the values of tolerance and pluralism, and to halting the relentless spate of violence through bombings and killings, to take immediate steps to distance themselves from all religious extremists including the Jamaat-e-Islami and to authorize independent impartial and effective investigations into the various incidents of bombing to date.

The administrative machinery of the State must take immediate and effective measures to ensure the security of the citizens of the country, and at this moment especially of the judiciary, lawyers and all those involved in the delivery of justice, regardless of political or other affiliations. Our affiliation, duty and loyalty today must be first and foremost to the State and citizens of Bangladesh.
