Awami League MPs Submit Charter of Demands to Bangladesh Parliament Speaker - 2004-04-25


Members of Parliament from the main opposition Awami League (AL) handed a five-point charter of demands, including immediate resignation of the government, over to Speaker Jamir Uddin Sircar after they marched to parliament defying police hindrance.

The memorandum came five days short of the opposition April 30 deadline for unseating the government.

The speaker dismissed the demand for resignation of the BNP-led coalition and snap polls and called on the opposition to join parliament to talk about other four issues.

Four other demands are withdrawal of the 14th constitution amendment bill and an end to "one-sided" alterations to the constitution, peaceful rallies and the right to movement, a stop to police repression and release of political prisoners and steps to implement AL's previous 15 point-demand.
