NEW YORK, Sept 28 (UNB): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said her government has so far no plan to scrap the system of the caretaker government despite having bitter experiences of two years' of the army interim government.
"We did not think about it," she told a 'meet the press' interaction at Bangladesh Permanent Mission Monday evening at the fag end of her nine-day visit to USA to attend the 65th UN General Assembly in New York.
Hasina, however, said everything would depend on the desire of the mass people-what they would like or dislike.
The Prime Minister said a parliamentary committee was constituted a few months ago to suggest constitutional amendments in line with the two landmark judgments of the Supreme Court declaring the post-75 military regimes illegal. She said the parliamentary committee might have its own observations about the caretaker system.
