A private member bill was placed in the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) today with a proposal for enactment of a law to make Bangladesh as a nuclear weapon non- proliferation zone.
Treasury bench member Saber Hossain Chowdhury (Dhaka-9) placed the bill titled 'Bangladesh Nuclear Weapons Non-
proliferation Region Bill 2011' in the House with Speaker Abdul Hamid Advocate in the chair.
While moving the bill in the House, Saber Hossain Chowdhury said the bill has been placed to make Bangladesh as a nuclear
weapon free area to ensure safety of the citizens.
He said Bangladesh should prohibit development, production, storage and use of nuclear weapon as the country has ratified various international conventions.
The bill was sent to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Private Members Resolution Bill for scrutiny and report back to the House.
