Committee: Print of Bangabandhu’s 7th March speech in constitution contains 136 errors
A High Court-directed committee has found that the print version of Bangabandhu’s historic 7th March in the constitution contains 136 errors.
A report in this regard from the Ministry of Law was submitted to the relevant bench of the High Court on Thursday.
The HC bench of justice Md Mojibur Rahman Mia and Justice Khizir Hayat Khan will hear the writ petition in this regard but the date has not been fixed yet, said, petitioner’s lawyer Subir Nandi Das.
“Hopefully the High Court will hear the petition next week,” he said.
On March 10, 2020, a 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.
