Fifth Amendment
Now the Fifth Amendment will be considered illegal and our constitution will regain its original spirit with the installation of Democracy, Socialism, Secularism, and Bengali Nationalism. Through 5th amendment president Ziaur Rahman legalised the illegal and unconstitutional rule of Khondokar Moshtaque, Justice Sayem and his own military rule from 1975 to 1979.
The Attorney General has expressed his hope that with the abolition of the 5th amendment the door of military takeover will be shut down forever in our country. But I think without strong political leadership and mutual understanding among our political parties, it will be difficult to have uninterrupted democracy.
