Charter amendment bill gets cabinet nod

The cabinet on Monday (JUne 20) approved the draft of the constitution amendment bill after a hectic round of discussions.

The move, which came at a regular cabinet meeting, clears the way for placing the much-talked-about bill before the parliament to pass a law on it.

Law Minister Shafique Ahmed placed the bill, prepared mainly basing on the recommendations of the parliamentary special committee on charter amendment, before the cabinet.
