rather than judicious decisions
st
nd
th
2) 1 fraft prepared by the 2 constitution assembly or overall 4 draft provided for strong
centre.The strong centre ws the most pinching point for the awami league as it considered it
tangential to the 21 point manifesto in elections.Ak falul haq has to surrender to awami leagire
demands and was ready to make the amendment.At the same time Maulana bashani on
15thjanuary threatened of secession of Bengal had his demand been not met by the
constitution assembly.
