Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed told parliament on Tuesday that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) violated his oath and the constitution by distributing oath forms for membership in the so-called 'Constitution Reform Council'. He described the entire process as illegal and a 'document of deception' from the previous interim government.

Speaking during a discussion on a motion raised by the opposition leader, the minister cited various constitutional articles and schedules to explain the legal invalidity of the 'Constitution Reform Implementation Order 2025' issued last year. He questioned under what authority the CEC sent the oath forms to the National Parliament Secretariat.

Ahmed stated that the CEC had sworn under Article 148 to preserve the constitution, but by sending the forms, he breached that oath and violated the constitution. The minister’s remarks framed the issue as a serious constitutional breach requiring scrutiny.
