Twenty ordinances issued during the interim government— including the Anti-Corruption Commission Ordinance, National Human Rights Commission Ordinance, Police Commission Ordinance, Prevention and Remedy of Enforced Disappearance Ordinance, and Referendum Ordinance—are not being approved in the current parliamentary session.
Among these, a special committee of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) has recommended repealing four ordinances, including those on the appointment of Supreme Court judges and the Supreme Court Secretariat.
For the remaining 16 ordinances, it has been recommended that they not be immediately presented in Parliament as bills; instead, they should be reviewed later, strengthened, and then reintroduced as new bills.
On the other hand, 98 ordinances—including the July Mass Uprising (Protection and Liability) Ordinance, which grants indemnity to those involved in the July uprising—have been recommended to be presented in Parliament unchanged as bills.
The report of the special committee was presented in Parliament today, Thursday, by its chairman Zainul Abedin.
