Prime Minister  of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has said that that some of the constitutional provisions, excepting a few sensitive ones inserted by the ‘unconstitutional regimes’, should be annulled in line with ‘people’s expectation’.
   

‘There are many provisions in the constitution that need to be amended. A proposal in line with the public’s aspirations should be submitted to the Sangsad,’ the prime minister told the parliament on Wednesday while addressing its members on the country’s Constitution Day.

The Prime Minister said, adding that the unconstitutional regimes in the past had amended the constitution many times to increase their power. They had distorted the constitution time and again to perpetuate their political authority.
   Bangladesh ratified its constitution on 4 November, 1972 and since then the day has been observed as Constitution Day.
