Opposition Leader Shafiur Rahman: Constitutional Reform Committee Considered, Not Amendment

Opposition leader Shafiur Rahman stated that his party will not send representatives to a special committee for constitutional amendment, emphasizing that the public's demand was for reform, not amendment. He indicated that his party would consider a committee focused on reform if proposed by the government. Rahman clarified that constitutional amendment is a regular legislative process requiring a bill, not a committee. He also warned that if demands related to the July charter are not resolved in parliament, they will be pursued on the streets. Rahman stressed the opposition's role in representing public interests within parliament and stated they would walk out on issues if their logical points are dismissed, but not for extended periods.

The opposition leader's stance on constitutional reform versus amendment highlights differing political approaches and signals potential street-level action if parliamentary dialogue fails.
