Some Newly Elected Representatives of Upazila Parishad in Bangladesh Demand A Law to be Repealed


A group of newly elected representatives of upazila parishad (UP) in Bangladesh threatened to declare lawmakers persona-non-grata in UP complex areas if the Upazila Parishad Act 2009 is not immediately repealed.

The representatives also formed a forum titled "Bangladesh Upazila Chairmen Forum" with Muhibur Rahman, chairman of Bishwanath Upazila in Sylhet and Ziaul Haq Sarkar, chairman of Laxmipur upazila, as its convener and member secretary.

They also have threatened to declare local MPs "unwanted" if authority is not restored to the local councils in line with a 2008 ordinance passed by the caretaker government.
