On August 19, the High Court issued a ruling in which it asked whether the Constitution’s fifteenth amendment should not be ruled unlawful.
The Awami League-led government of the time enacted the 15th Amendment to the Bangladeshi Constitution on June 30, 2011.
This amendment increased the number of seats set aside for women in the National Parliament from 45 to 50 and eliminated the caretaker government system.
He stated that the army personnel are currently actively carrying out their duties in 62 districts throughout the nation in order to maintain law and order. They are doing this through coordinated efforts with the local administration, law enforcement agencies, relevant ministries, the interim government, various organisations, the media, and the local populace.
“The army is working to protect people’s lives, important infrastructures (KPI), and important public and private institutions as part of its duty,” he stated.
He said the army is performing to help the police force to be operational again and maintain communal harmony in the country by involving law enforcement personnel. The army is also working to ensure the security of foreign diplomats, embassies and safety of industrial areas to keep factories running, prevent anarchy and vandalism as an expression of discontent in various public and private institutions, keep main roads unblocked to avoid public sufferings and keep the country’s economy moving, he added.
To keep the factories running, he said that various steps have been taken in coordination with the relevant ministries, BGMES and all concerned. As a result, almost all of 2,089 garment factories in the country are currently operating smoothly, he added.
