SC lawyer applies to the President for ‘All-Party Govt’

Staff Reporter  :
A Supreme Court lawyer on Monday sent a letter to the President requesting him to form an “All-Party Government” to conduct the upcoming parliamentary election.

Lawyer Md Mahmudul Hasan sent the letter by post.

He sent the letter under Article 21(1) of the Constitution in order to secure the discipline of the country, said the lawyer.

The lawyer said, “If an “All-Party Government” is formed, the election will be more acceptable nationally and internationally.

On the other hand, the registered political parties that have never participated in government will also be able to gain some experience in running the government through their nominated minister or deputy minister.

Besides, there will be unity among different political parties on national issues in the interest of the country. Above all, there will be discipline in the country regarding the election-time government, and the country will get rid of violence and conflict.”

So, I therefore request our President to consider the “All Party Government” system for holding a free, fair election for the national interest of the country, the letter also read.

The lawyer said, “The general people of Bangladesh are extremely tired and annoyed due to disagreements, clashes, road blockades between the government and opposition parties during every election. On the other hand, the youth of the country are extremely disappointed with the actions of the government and the opposition parties.

That is why the talented youths of the country are constantly leaving the country.

While the developing countries of the world are trying to become developed countries, our country Bangladesh has not yet been able to agree on an election-time government. As a result, the people of Bangladesh are witnessing the clashes between the government and opposition parties before every election.

That is why the country is unstable, and the general people suffer irreparable loss and injury.”

The letter said, “There will be no need for any amendment or change in the existing constitution to form this “All-Party Government.”

The existing Parliament will remain in the “All-Party Government” system. All cabinet members, including the Prime Minister, will resign in that case.

In such a situation, President will choose a Prime Minister from the majority party in the Parliament who has not been the Prime Minister or a member of the Cabinet in the last ten years.

The new Prime Minister will form a new election-time cabinet where 90% (ninety percent) of the members of the new Cabinet will be members of the existing Parliament, but there will be no persons who were a member of any cabinet in the last ten years.”
