Dhaka, Apr 12 (V7N) – Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said that the opposition is attempting to do politics over several ordinances issued by the interim government in haste.

Speaking at a briefing at the Secretariat on Sunday, he said the government plans to improve laws related to enforced disappearances, human rights, and the Supreme Court Secretariat after consultations with stakeholders.

The Home Minister said that some provisions in the ordinances were not properly formulated and stressed the need for stronger legal frameworks, particularly regarding enforced disappearances. He added that he himself had been a victim of enforced disappearance.

He also criticized the opposition for walking out of parliament, saying their claims made outside the House were based on incorrect information. However, he noted that such walkouts are allowed under parliamentary rules.

Referring to the July Memorial Museum issue, he said the government has already amended relevant provisions and may introduce revised legislation after further discussion.

On the referendum issue, he said the Election Commission conducted the process under the Referendum Ordinance. He added that although questions have been raised about constitutional validity, the referendum has already taken place and there is no immediate need for new legislation unless the issue arises again.
