India on August 11 reminded that the Constitution of Bangladesh “has a position” on the issue of having a caretaker government in the country.
The remark made by the official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Arindam Bagchi, brings back focus on the 15th Constitutional amendment of 2011 under which the section on caretaker system in Bangladesh was abolished.
Mr. Bagchi’s comment is the first indirect Indian acknowledgement of matters that are at the heart of the current political tug of war between the ruling Awami League and the Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) that is demanding that the general election should be held under a caretaker government.
