Form committee to examine 7th March speech in constitution: HC


The High Court on Tuesday directed the government to form a high-level committee to examine whether Bangabandhu’s 7th March speech was presented wrongly in the constitution.

The HC-bench of Justice Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Md. Iqbal Kabir passed the order after a hearing on a writ filed by Supreme Court lawyer Subir Nandi Das on behalf of Kashed Ali, a resident of Raynagar village in Rajbari district on March 5.

The court also sought a report with all the documents after analysing every audio and video of the speech within six weeks.

Besides, the court issued a rule asking the authorities concerned why directives should not be given for attaching to the constitution the accurate speech delivered by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman  on March 7, 1971.

Secretaries to the Law Ministry, Information Ministry and others concerned have been asked to respond to the rule within four weeks.

Attorney general Mahbubey Alam and deputy attorney general Amit Das Gupto stood for the state.

According to the writ petitioner, the 7th March speech of Bangabandhu which was included in the constitution does not match the available audios and videos of the speech.
