A private member bill was placed in the parliament yesterday proposing enacting a law to make Bangladesh a nuclear weapons non-proliferation zone.
Ruling Awami League lawmaker Saber Hossain Chowdhury placed the "Bangladesh Nuclear Weapons Non-proliferation Region Bill 2011" so that the people's safety is ensured.
"Bangladesh should prohibit development, production, storage, and use of nuclear weapons as the country has ratified various international conventions", Saber said in a brief statement tagged with the copy of the bill.
The bill was sent to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Private Members Resolution Bill for scrutinising and reporting back to the House.
