Bismillah to be dropped from Bangladeshi Constitution

[mohib]

The parliamentary special committee on constitutional amendment has recommended restoring the preamble of the 1972 constitution, meaning that "Bismillah-Ar-Rahman-Ar-Rahim" will be dropped from the section, reports bdnews24.com.

"We have unanimously decided to restore the preamble of the 1972 constitution," Suranjit Sengupta, the committee's co-chair, told reporters after the 7th meeting at parliament building Wednesday.

With the replacement of the present preamble with the 1972 one, "Bismillah-Ar-Rahman-Ar-Rahim", "In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Merciful" and "pledging that the high ideals of absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah" will go.

Main opposition BNP's founder Ziaur Rahman, in November 1977, through a military proclamation amended the 1972 constitution and inserted the aforesaid terms in the preamble of the constitution.

Zia also wrote "the war for national independence" instead of "national struggle" in the second paragraph of the preamble.

According to the guidelines of the constitution, only a two-thirds majority in parliament can amend the highest charter.

Zia's proclamation was inserted in the constitution by the BNP-led second parliament in April 1979. This insertion is known as fifth amendment, which changed the secular character of the 1972 constitution.

Cant say much ... but there (Bangladesh) GDP growth seems better.
Secondly it seems we have not pulled our selves from the tragic events ... Fall of East Pakistan.

We sure wish we had East Pakistan and all those cheap labor like cooks and servants in our houses.
Tell me how many west Pakistani were working as servants in East Pakistani houses?

Answer is simply a big Fat ZERO.

Good start for Bangladesh, hopefully it will be more secular in the future. Bangladesh is saying big NO to extremism, radicalism and backwardness. Becoming secular doesn't mean being atheist. It only mens being tolerant and respectful to the minorities.

Sometimes a good happens but we do not know about it untill long after.
What bganglas want to do leave it to them, they chose to secceede by partnering with an adversery/enemy. GDP could also be translated as "Gis Din Pakar" ho gi, untill then it is "Gross Domestic Production"

I agree to sis star gazer & bro adnan..
Point is that they want to be secular or aethiest..
Point is when MUSLIMS who know the truth want to become secular or aethiest then there will be total loss.
Non muslims can do whatever they like even now they dont have the solid economy i can name them all.
Point is that as NEW WORLD ORDER approaching fast, many will fall on this bait.
But i have a very good feeling, this way they made common muslim more strong.
WAMA KARO WAMA KARALLAH WALLAHO KHAIRUL MAKIREEN..
Let them have the taste of it.. Muslims can only succeed when they will follow ALLAH & HIS PROPHET, without it no way..
You can have lots of houses, lots of cars, lots of finances & lots of lust... but if you dont have IMAAN you will be taking PILLS & INTOXICANTS to get relief, but instead will remain hollow spiritually..
So same happens to MUSLIM COUNTRIES..
Hope you will understand..
Jaza-k-ALLAH
