"This farce in the name of a search committee has to be stopped. We are very well aware what this committee will do," Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu said on Saturday.
The term of the Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad-led current commission expires in February next year.
Law Minister Anisul Huq had recently hinted at forming a 'search committee' to finalise the commission's composition.
"Do anything, constitute anything. But a verdict that does not reflect the popular verdict will not be tolerated by the people of this country," BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said recently.
