A faction of the Jatiya Party on Saturday urged the interim government to refrain from amending the constitution.
The faction said that the amendment to the constitution, if needed, should be done by an elected parliament.
The faction chairman Anisul Islam Mahmud came up with the remarks at a representatives鈥� meeting of the party鈥檚 youth front, Jatiya Juba Samhati, in its central office in the capital鈥檚 Gulshan area.
Noting that the interim government had taken initiatives to bring amendments to the constitution, he urged the interim government to refrain from bringing such changes.
If an uprising occurs after 10 years, they may say that those who changed the constitution will have to face trial, he warned. 聽
Anisul also said that the chief adviser Muhammad Yunus and other advisors were repeatedly saying that the next general election would be held in the first half of February next year in a free, fair and credible manner.
But, the information advisor said that all the responsible posts of the administration were controlled by the pro BNP and pro Jamaat officials, he said.
For this, he said, people were now confused whether the next general election would be held in a free, fair and credible manner.
The faction鈥檚 secretary general ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader said that the interim government had failed to control the country鈥檚 law and order situation.
Presided over by Jatiya Juba Samhati faction convener Fakhrul Ahsan Shahagada, the event was addressed, among others, by the faction鈥檚 senior co-chairman Kazi Firoz Rashid, executive chairman Mujibul Haque Chunnu, co-chairman Syed Abu Hossain Babla, and presidium members Sahidur Rahman, Liaquat Hossain Khoka and Jahirul Islam Jahir.
More than 100 leaders of Juba Samhati attended the programme.聽
