Remove words ‘secularism’ & ‘socialism’ from Bangladesh statute: AG

Bangladesh's Attorney General, Md Asaduzzaman, sparked controversy by advocating for the removal of "socialism" and "secularism" from the constitution. He argued that these principles contradict the nation's predominantly Muslim identity. Asaduzzaman's proposal, made during a hearing on the validity of the 15th amendment, ignited debate about the country's future direction and drew criticism from legal experts.
