In a written statement at a discussion meeting organized by Gono Forum on the occasion of Constitution Day on Wednesday, he said every article of the 1972 Constitution reflects democratic spirit. The Constitution may be amended as needed over time, but creating controversy over it and dividing the nation is undesirable.
He emphasized ending communal politics, controlling corruption, eradicating drugs and terrorism, ensuring public security, and creating employment for unemployed youth. At the same time, he called on everyone to unite to build a stable state in line with the aspirations of the Liberation War by ensuring equality, human dignity, and justice.
At the meeting, BNP leader Dr. A Z M Zahid Hossain said the Constitution needs to be amended due to the demands of the time and current realities. Mahmudur Rahman Manna, president of Nagorik Oikya, said the nation cannot be freed from fascism unless fascist elements are removed from the Constitution.
