'Punishment alone won't stop martial law'
Including provision of stringent punishment in constitution for grabbing state power will not stop future threats of martial law promulgation if political culture and mindset are not changed, said speakers at a discussion yesterday.
Centre for National Studies, a pro-BNP think tank, organised the discussion titled “Bangladesh constitution: issues and challenges,” at Brac Centre Inn in the city's Mohakhali attended by political leaders, lawmakers, jurists, constitutional experts, educationalists and journalists.
Barrister Rafique-ul Haque in his speech, suggested introducing upper House of Parliament, which was instantly opposed by BNP senior lawmakers Moudud Ahmed and MK Anwar and Jatiya Party lawmaker Anisul Islam Mahmud.
