Speaking at a programme of the Narayanganj Bar Association on Sunday, he said the claims made by Justice Sinha in his recently published book are ‘utterly false’.
The former chief justice said in the book, “A Broken Dream: Rule of Law, Human Rights and Democracy”, that the government ‘exiled’ him after he had resigned in the face of intimidation and threats.
“He resigned when the other judges repeatedly refused to sit with him in the bench,” Anisul said.
“Now he has made up new stories around a year after his resignation. I had said it before and am saying it again that these are nothing but the expression of a defeated person’s profound regret,” he added.
The law minister also said the Anti-Corruption Commission was yet to prosecute the former chief justice on corruption charges because it was still investigating the allegations.
“The government will not interfere in this process,” he added.
