Constitution Amendment Won’t Stop Even Without Opposition: Home Minister

From the report

The government will await the opposition party’s participation in the constitutional amendment process. However, Salahuddin Ahmed, President of the Special Committee on Constitutional Amendment and Home Minister, stated that the initiative to amend the constitution to implement the July National Charter will not be halted, even if the opposition does not participate.

He made this statement during a briefing to journalists at the Parliament House Media Center, following the seventh meeting of the special committee at the National Parliament House on Tuesday (October 13).

Salahuddin Ahmed stated that the government aims to amend the constitution based on consensus among all parties, including both the ruling and opposition factions. To this end, the opposition has been repeatedly invited to participate in discussions. If they join, they will be afforded opportunities for debate and can submit written opinions. Nevertheless, the constitutional amendment process must proceed even without the opposition’s involvement.
