Security issue
On last 6 July, the cabinet approved a draft law to ensure security of the family members of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman with immediate effect. This step has been rejected by most of the people as two online polls run by newspapers show. The prime minister of Bangladesh gets water tight security ex officio, so there is no need to change or enact any law in this regard. Furthermore, it seems inappropriate when overall public security is creaking . Acid throwing, extortion and murder are common incidents nowadays, even, innocent people are being killed in broad daylight.
Our constitution, also says "All citizens are equal before law and are entitled to equal protection of law"(part 3, article 27). So, is it not a breach of the constitution?
