How necessary is reform, and how sustainable can it be?
The word “reform” is short, but its meaning and significance are immense and multifaceted. According to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, it means: “to make an improvement, especially by changing a person's behaviour or the structure of something.”
No More Top-Down Commissions in Constitution Making
Since the people's uprising, poet and thinker Farhad Mazhar has been the most vocal about the removal of the president and the rewriting of the Constitution. He was the first to call for the resignation letter of the exiled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina; however, no one was able to show him that letter at the time. Recently, President Shahabuddin Chuppu also claimed in an interview that he does not have the Prime Minister's resignation letter. This has sparked renewed discussions and debates, and students are demanding the president's resignation.
