BSS: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the 15th amendment to the constitution strengthened the country’s democracy and empowered people to choose public representatives by stopping the path of grabbing state power illegally.
“Stability is prevailing in the country due to bringing 15th amendment to the constitution and continued democratic process for a long time. So, now, no unelected person can capture state power illegally,” she said. She was speaking at the oath-taking ceremony of the newly-elected Mayor of Rangpur City Corporation (RpCC) and its ward councilors, including those from reserved seats for women at her office.
