Caretaker government Adviser Akbar Ali Khan in his reaction to President and Chief Adviser Iajuddin Ahmed's remarks yesterday said it may not be correct to say now there is a presidential form of government.

He told newsmen that according to the Rules of Business, the advisers of the caretaker government should be at the helm of the ministries, not the secretaries.

They (advisers) are the heads of the ministries also if the matter is seen from the constitutional perspective. And if so, then likening the present system of government to the presidential type may not be correct, he noted.

He said probably the president was trying to say that the current form of government is like that of a 'presidential form'. His comments might not have been made in legal or technical terms.
