‘No scope of discussion regarding caretaker govt’

City Desk :
Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq on Thursday said there is no scope of discussion regarding caretaker government.

“If you are talking about the caretaker government, then no, there is no scope of discussion.

If you want to discuss any other topic, then it will depend on the proposal, whether there is any scope of discussion or not,” the law minister said this while talking to newsmen at the Secretariat this noon, reports BSS.

“I want to make something very clear, the apex court in its judgment has declared caretaker government system, illegal and conflicting to the constitution.

In view of this judgment, the parliament has passed the 15th amendment.

Now there is no possibility of bringing back the provision of caretaker government.

There is even no possibility of reconsider the matter and amend the constitution,” he added.

The law minister said the BNP-Jamaat alliance had taken all the steps to foil the election every time.

It is clearly stated in the constitution, when the election will be held and the Election Commission (EC) will declare the date as per that, Anisul further said.

“There is nothing called polls-time government in the constitution.

Prime Minister had done this in 2014 in respect of democracy.

Now it’s her decision, what she will do or not regarding the polls-time government.
