DHAKA, April 1, 2026 (BSS) - Chief Whip of Jatiya Sangsad Nurul Islam today 
said that a special parliamentary committee will be formed soon to facilitate 
constitutional amendments.

"A committee will be formed to amend the constitution. We intend to include 
representatives from all political parties on a proportional basis as well as 
independent lawmakers. We want to initiate this committee very soon, possibly 
by next Sunday, taking everyone's opinions into account," he told reporters.

The Chief Whip also said the exact number is yet to be finalised while the 
committee is expected to consist of 15, 18, or 20 members.

"This is a unique situation. We want to include legal experts from both the 
treasury and opposition benches. If a party lacks legal experts, we will 
still include their representatives. Our goal is to bring the constitution to 
a stage where frequent changes are no longer necessary," he added.

The Chief Whip emphasised that constitutional reform is a necessity under the 
"July Charter," referring to the principles established following the 2024 
mass uprising.
