Parliamentary committee to be formed to facilitate constitutional amendments
Chief Whip of Jatiya Sangsad Nurul Islam yesterday said that a special parliamentary committee will be formed soon to facilitate constitutional amendments.
"A committee will be formed to amend the constitution. We intend to include representatives from all political parties on a proportional basis as well as
independent lawmakers. We want to initiate this committee very soon, possibly by next Sunday, taking everyone's opinions into account," he told reporters, reports BSS.
The Chief Whip also said the exact number is yet to be finalised while the committee is expected to consist of 15, 18, or 20 members.
"This is a unique situation. We want to include legal experts from both the treasury and opposition benches. If a party lacks legal experts, we will still include their representatives. Our goal is to bring the constitution to a stage where frequent changes are no longer necessary," he added.
The Chief Whip emphasised that constitutional reform is a necessity under the "July Charter," referring to the principles established following the 2024 mass uprising.
