| BNP, Jamaat revise constitutions |
| 2008-10-20 |
| In developments late last night, BNP made some major changes in its constitution to apply for registration with the Election Commission (EC) on the closing date today. Earlier in the day, the party and its key ally Jamaat-e-Islami collected forms from the EC Secretariat. A couple of days back, Jamaat too brought about drastic changes in its charter to meet the criteria for registration, now mandatory for political parties seeking election to parliament. Throughout the day yesterday, both the parties were busy readying documents required to be attached to the forms for registration. The interim constitution of BNP does not provide for front organisations and chapters abroad. It however has a provision like arch-rival AL's to allow associated organisations. |
