DSP's Sezer: "The parliament speaker should unbiased"

It is improper for the Parliament speaker to criticize top court decisions, said opposition Democratic Left Party (DSP) leader Zeki Sezer yesterday. Speaking at a meeting of his party in Edremit, Balikesir, Sezer said that no one has the right to increase tension in Turkey. Addressing Parliament Speaker Koksal Toptan's remarks criticizing a Constitutional Court ruling upholding the headscarf ban at universities, Sezer accused Toptan of not acting impartially, adding that Toptan had been a consensus candidate for the post. He should defend the judicial branch as much as the legislative, Sezer added.
