The proposals are made by a committee headed by retired Major General Muhammad Mehboob Al- Alam. It further said that Bangladesh will have to abandon the policy of friendship with all and enmity with none. The country has to adopt a strong and dynamic foreign policy. Also, the hand of friendship has to be extended according to the country’s interest. The seats in the Parliament should be increased by abolishing the reservation for women in the Parliament. There are currently 350 seats, which may be increased to 500. 45 seats reserved for women in Parliament should be repealed. 33 per cent reserved for women in local elections may be eliminated. The Chief Justice and Judges should be appointed by an independent selection committee instead of the Law Ministry.
