A group of pro-BNP young lawyers yesterday demanded cancellation of the 15th amendment to the constitution, saying that the amendment could not fulfil the desire and expectations of people.
The parliament on June 30 passed the 15th amendment to the constitution abolishing the caretaker government system for holding general elections under an interim government.
The lawyers made the demand at a press conference organised under the banner of Bangladesher Tarun Ainjibi Brindo (Young lawyers of Bangladesh) at south hall of the Supreme Court Bar Association.
Barrister Parvez Ahmed read out a written statement at the press conference.
Parvez in his statement said the Supreme Court is directly responsible for the national crisis for the first time in the history.
Barrister M Sarwar Hossain, Advocate Mirza Al Mahmud and Advocate Shahiduzzaman also spoke at the press conference.
