Amendment Bill after Eid

By Moinuddin Naser
The constitution amendment bill to introduce parliamentary democracy will be placed before the Jatiya Sang-sad after the Eid vacation of the current session, according to a highly placed source.
It was expected that the ruling party would place the bill before the JS on or before June 18. the day the Prime Minister Khaleda Zia leaves for Beijing on a five-day visit
However, the source said that the presentation of the bill will be delayed as its fine points have not yet been finalised.
The current session of Parliament will be adjourned June 20 to resume June 26. according to the Parliament sources.
BNP Secretary General Barrister Salam Talukder said that it would take time to place the bill, a vital one for the future of our nation.
Meanwhile the opposition MPs enthusiastic about the constitution amendment bill have asked the Prime Minister to discuss the bill in the Business Executive Committee as it was a bill of common interest both for the Opposition and the Treasury Bench members.
Before introduction of the bill tn the House it would have to be certified by the President and ft would take time to ob-
tain his clearance, a BNP source said.
Meanwhile a Parliament Secretariat source said that the private members bills related to the amendment to the Constitution notified by the Awaml League leader Abdus Samad Azad and the Workers Party leader Rashed Khan Menon had been passed by the House Committee. But the source said that those would require the certificate of the President before being presented In the House.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition Abdus Samad Azad told the Dally Star that the Awaml League would move the bill in due time to record it in the proceedings of Parliament.
Awaml League sources said that they would have no objec-Uon in passing the amendment bill if it was brought on the basis of a true parliamentary democracy.
The Awaml League sources said that there was no Instance of the provision of including one fifth of the members of the cabinet from non-MPs in the history of parliamentary democracy.
But BNP members and the Workers Party said that there was provision of Including non-MPs in the cabinet in many Scandinavian countries and even in Japan.
They said that It would not be wise to omit the present provision of the Constitution to Include members in the cabinet from non-MPs.
However all these arguments should be resolved before introduction of the bill, the Opposition MPs have already told the members of the Treasury Bench.
According to a reliable source the Prime Minister may sit with the Opposition MPs to discuss the issue before the introduction of the bill as it is of great national importance.
