Dhaka Bureau: Jasdar president Hasanul Haque Inu has proposed to review the constitution to remove anything that conflicts with the basic structure of the document, including the state religion of Islam. For this, he proposed to form a special committee headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
On Saturday, April 8, Hasanul Haq Inu made this proposal by participating in the discussion on the proposal presented by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Rule 147 in the special session on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the National Parliament. At this time, Deputy Speaker Shamsul Haque Tuku presided over the session.
Hasanul Haque Inu said that although Khaleda Zia formed the government in the 1991 elections, Sheikh Hasina forced the majority BNP to return to the parliamentary system as the leader of the opposition party. Sheikh Hasina is the architect of the Twelfth Amendment, the architect of bringing back the sovereignty of Parliament, which was lost in 1975. The wisdom and determination under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina were revealed in 1991.
Appreciating the progress made by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Parliament leader Hasanul Haque Inu said, “We need more supplementary laws and a more participatory and democratic parliamentary system to move forward. More oversight on administration A parliamentary committee should be led by Sheikh Hasina to amend the constitution by taking into consideration the proposals that come up in the political arena through a more participatory system. The discussions that are in the field are about the traditional electoral system as well as the party-based numerical proportional electoral system and the formation of an upper house with the local governments, including a class-occupation group, minority ethnic groups, and religious minorities. Amending Article 70 by excluding only no-confidence bills, finance bills, and important defense issues; empowering MPs to make more laws; opening up standing committees; establishing full authority of elected officials in local government; and amending articles 59 and 60 of the constitution The state has no gender, religion, or caste system. The Holy Prophet himself did not use Bismillah in any state document in Medina. On the other hand, he never used religion. General Zia and Ershad added state religion to the constitution. It has been taken into conflict with the basic structure of the Constitution. This conflicting confidence is embarrassing. In order to get rid of this conflicting state of the constitution, consideration should be given to abolishing everything that is in conflict with the main structure of the constitution. Along with all these proposals that are in the market, I propose to review the constitution and form a special committee of the parliament to review the constitution, headed by the leader of parliament, Sheikh Hasina.
