The High Court (HC) has issued a rule asking why direction will not be given to form specific guidelines to build all Shaheed Minar at home and abroad with similar dimensions to the central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka.

The rule also asked to know why the inactiveness of the concerned authorities to build uniform Shaheed Minars across the globe should not be declared illegal.

The bench of Justice JBM Hasan and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil issued the rule after a hearing of a petition filed by lawyer Md Shahidul Islam who stood for the writ.
