Dhaka Bureau: Law Minister Anisul Haque said that the issue of 648 MPs in the Jatiya Sangsad will be clarified in light of the constitution if the policymakers want. He said the country is running as per what is in the constitution now.
He said this to reporters after a meeting with Isa bin Yusuf Al-Duhailan, the Saudi ambassador appointed to Dhaka, on Thursday (January 25) at the secretariat.
Responding to a question from reporters about the 648 MPs, the law minister said that the fact is that it has not been inserted in the constitution today. It was added to the Fourteenth Amendment. The matter that is being discussed now is probably not very important.
Still, I will say that if the policymakers feel that there is a need to make something more clear, it will be seen, said the minister.
Anisul Haque said, “I don’t know yet which place needs to be clarified.” Policymakers will decide where if they feel the need. Then it will be. I think everything that has happened now is constitutional.
Regarding the meeting with the Saudi ambassador, he said that he had come to meet with courtesy. Besides, there was a discussion about increasing cooperation and relations between the judicial departments of Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia. Above all, we discussed furthering our deep relationship with Saudi Arabia.
