The conversation here between activist Ahmed Ziauddin and Judge Nizamul Hoque Nasim reveals the highly politicised nature of Bangladesh's judiciary: one that is increasingly reflecting the tense factions within the country's coalition government. Nasim reveals how fellow Tribunal Jahangir Hossain has been appointed as a Tribunal-1 Member through the lobbying of the Kamrul Islam, the State Minister for Law. There is a discussion between Nasim and Ahmed Ziauddin stating that Jahangir Hossain is corrupt. Nasim refers to Jahangir as an Awami League supporter. There is also a discussion between Nasim and Ahmed Ziauddin that Jahangir will not disagree with Nasim because he is corrupt (and therefore morally weak).
Judge A.K.M. Zaheer Ahmed resigned a few months as a Tribunal judge, publicly citing medical reasons. Yet, in this conversation, Tribual Chair Nasim informs activist Ahmed Ziauddin that Judge Zaheer Ahmed has been removed at the behest of the Law Minister. Nasim also informs Ahmed Ziauddin that the Law Minister had summoned Judge A.K.M. Zaheer Ahmed and asked him to resign and that he would be offered a post in the Law Commission upon his resignation.
In this conversation, Tribunal Chair Nizamul Hoque Nasim reveals to activist Ahmed Ziauddin that he prefers his colleague judges to be compliant yes-men. When discussing the appointment of Tribunal member Jahangir Hossain, Nasim reveals that Hossain has has been directed to agree with whatever Nasim says. Nasim and Ahmed Ziauddin discuss how Jahangir Hossain should give full support to Nasim in public and private during critical times.
