Khandaker expressed hope that the SC would take legal action in order to uphold the image of the judiciary.On Saturday, addressing a discussion in the capital, the food minister said that the appeal in Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali`s case should be reheard by a reconstituted Appellate Division bench of the Supreme Court, keeping the chief justice out of it.On the other hand, the liberation war affairs minister also made some observations during Saturday’s programme.
