Brushing aside the allegation of the opposition leader that the country was going through a constitutional crisis, Awami League leader Suranjit Sengupta has said the 1972
constitution is in place.
"If there is no constitution in the country, how you are the leader of the opposition? How are you flying the national flag in your car? Could you do that had there been
no constitution?" Suranjit questioned Khaleda Zia.
The remarks of the Awami League Presidium member came while he was addressing a discussion organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Parishad at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on
Thursday.
Claiming that the 1972 constitution is in effect, Suranjit, also co-chair of the parliamentary committee on constitution amendment, said, "The High Court has repealed
all the orders promulgated by the military government.
He said the committee formed to make recommendations for amendments to the constitution had been tirelessly working to get the job done.
