Bangladesh commission suggests dropping 'secularism', 'socialism' from Constitution; proposes bicameral House

Bangladesh's Constitution Reform Commission recommended replacing state principles of secularism, socialism, and nationalism with equality, human dignity, social justice, pluralism, and democracy. They proposed a bicameral parliament, a two-term limit for the prime minister, and a National Constitutional Council for checks and balances. Former PM Sheikh Hasina's 1972 constitution faced criticism amidst demands for new elections.
