Bangladesh amends war crimes law, mulls banning Islamists

Re: Bangladesh amends war crimes law, mulls banning Islamists

The constitution clearly states in article 227:

All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah, in this Part referred to as the Injunctions of Islam, and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such Injunctions.

This is why the Islamic parties opposed Nawaz Sharif’s fake so-called Shariah Law - the constitution already makes the appropriate provisions, but the constitution itself is not being followed by any government.

Thankfully, Pakistan’s Islamic parties recognised Nawaz’s power grab in the name of Islam for what it was and helped to make sure that it was rejected in the Senate.
