The BNP secretary general, Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan, on Thursday rolled out a 13-point plan seeking major amendments to the national constitution to bring about sweeping reforms in all spheres including politics and administration.
The major points of his plan include: striking a balance between the powers of the president and the prime minister, a ban on boycotting parliament sessions, making floor crossing by members of parliament difficult and prohibition on hartal or siege.
He also gave an emphasis on changing the mindset of the politicians to improve political culture so that the country could get rid of the vicious cycle of politics of hatred and confrontation.
