Shirin Sharmin still holds JS Speaker post as none takes over the role: Experts
After Sheikh Hasina left the country on August 5, one after another murder cases are being filed against her across the country. The President then dissolved the Parliament. But according to the constitution, the Speaker of the National Parliament Shirin Sharmin Choudhury remained in office. But a murder case was file against Shirin Sharmin and 17 other people over killing of gold worker Muslim Uddin, 38, on August 27 in Rangpur. Later, Speaker Shirin Sharmin Choudhury resigned on September 2. Constitutional experts informed that according to the current constitution of Bangladesh, Shirin Sharmin Choudhury will be deemed to hold the post of Speaker until someone new takes over. There is no opportunity in the constitution to elect the Speaker without fresh elections. However, if the constitution is not followed or if the current constitution is repealed or suspended, that is a different matter.
