The Bangladesh Nationalist Party is a major political party in Bangladesh. Founded on 1 September 1978 by the late Bangladeshi president Ziaur Rahman, with a view to uniting people with a nationalist ideology, BNP later became one of the two dominant parties in Bangladesh, along with its archrival Awami League. Initially a big tent centrist party, it later moved towards more right-wing politics.
The president of Bangladesh, officially the president of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, is the head of state of Bangladesh and commander-in-chief of the Bangladesh Armed Forces.
Abdus Sattar was a Bangladeshi statesman. A leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), he served as the president of Bangladesh from 1981 to 1982, and earlier as the vice president. A jurist by profession, Abdus Sattar held numerous constitutional and political offices in British India, East Pakistan and Bangladesh. He was a cabinet minister, supreme court judge, and chief election commissioner.
Shah Azizur Rahman was a Bangladeshi politician who served as the prime minister of Bangladesh. However, he was the subject of considerable controversy for his collaboration with the Pakistan Army against the struggle for the independence of Bangladesh.
Ziaur Rahman, the sixth president of Bangladesh, was assassinated by a faction of officers of Bangladesh Army, on 30 May 1981, in the southeastern port city of Chittagong. Rahman went to Chittagong to arbitrate in a clash between the local leaders of his political party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. On the night of 30 May, a group of officers commandeered the Chittagong Circuit House, a government residence where Rahman was staying, shooting him and several others.
1981 (MCMLXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 1981st year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 981st year of the 2nd millennium, the 81st year of the 20th century, and the 2nd year of the 1980s decade.
The history of Bangladesh (1971–present) refers to the period after the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan.
The 1982 coup d'état was a military coup by Lt. Gen. Hussain Muhammad Ershad, the then-Chief of Army Staff of Bangladesh, against President Abdus Sattar. After serving initially as the Chief Martial Law Administrator and installing a civilian president, Justice A. F. M. Ahsanuddin Chowdhury, Ershad assumed presidency in 1983 and ruled until 1990.
The Fakhruddin Ahmed ministry was the fourth caretaker ministry in the history of Bangladesh which was formed on 11 January 2007 under the leadership of Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed. The caretaker ministry was formed on the background of the 2006–2008 Bangladeshi political crisis following a military coup, notoriously nicknamed "1/11" inspired by 9/11, led by General Moeen U Ahmed and the resignation of President Iajuddin Ahmed as the Chief Adviser. Ahmed appointed an team of thirteen advisers to form the government. During his tenure, many high-profile figures, most importantly the two dominant political party leaders Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina, were arrested as part of the emergency government's anticorruption crusade and its attempt to break the women's stranglehold on the country's politics. The attempt was controversially known as the "minus two" formula due to the aim being the exclusion of the two from further political participation.
An interim government led by the Shahabuddin Ahmed ministry was formed on 9 December 1990 in Bangladesh, following President HM Ershad's resignation on 6 December in the face of a mass uprising against his regime. Shahabuddin had taken office as the acting president of the country after he was unanimously agreed upon by the leaders of all political parties to be ceremoniously appointed by Ershad just before resigning as vice-president in place of Moudud Ahmed. He administered the oath of office to his council of advisers at Bangabhaban on 9 December 1990. During this period, he gave back freedom of the press by amending a number of law including the Special Powers Act.
The first Hasina ministry was the government of Bangladesh during the 7th legislative session of the Jatiya Sangsad following the 1996 general election; the 20-minister cabinet was formed on 23 June 1996 and dissolved on 15 July 2001.
The Vice-President of Bangladesh was formerly the second highest constitutional office in Bangladesh when the country was governed under a presidential system. The vice-president was the first person in the presidential line of succession, in the event of a president's resignation, removal or death. The post was held by several Bangladeshi statesmen during different periods of the country's history. The inaugural office holder was Syed Nazrul Islam during the Liberation War and the final office holder was Moudud Ahmed before and during '90's Mass Uprising although Chief Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed was ceremoniously appointed on demand to the office by Ershad replacing Moudud Ahmed, so that Shahabuddin could constitutionally become acting president following Ershad's resignation in 1990. Abdus Sattar was the only vice-president to succeed to the presidency in 1981.
Abu Saleh Mohammad Mustafizur Rahman was a lieutenant colonel of the Bangladesh Army, a Jatiya Sangsad member of parliament representing the Khulna-2 and Bagerhat-2 constituencies, and a government minister.
The First Khaleda ministry was the Government of Bangladesh during the 5th and 6th legislative sessions of the Jatiya Sangsad following the 1991 Bangladeshi general election. It began on 20 March 1991 and but had to be sworn in again on 19 September after the 12th constitutional amendment took effect following a constitutional referendum. In accordance to the amendment, all executive powers were transferred from the president to the prime minister and thus Khaleda Zia became the first female head of government of Bangladesh. The council of ministers was dissolved on 31 March 1996, when a constitutional non-partisan interim caretaker government system was introduced for the holding of general elections after the February 1996 general election conducted by the ministry was boycotted by most of the opposition.
Syed Mahibul Hasan was a Bangladeshi politician. He served as a Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Sylhet-16 constituency and later joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, serving as a minister under President Ziaur Rahman.
The Sayem ministry led what eventually became the first interim government in independent Bangladesh and an unofficial model for future interim regimes. It was formed on 8 November 1975, following the assassination of Brig. Gen. Khaled Mosharraf on 7 November amid a nationwide soldier and public uprising against his 3 November coup d'état. After a three-day coup with support of some high-ranking officers and his Dhaka Brigade, Mosharraf had forced Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad, who, following the 15 August coup that assassinated the autocratic founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, replaced him as President of Bangladesh with support of the mid-ranking assassin officers, to resign. Chief Justice Sayem, with the constitutional requirement for the direct election of the president and role of the vice-president as acting president suspended by Mostaq under a martial law proclamation, had been installed in his place. With Mosharraf's death the responsibility of CMLA fell on Sayem.
Colonel (retd.) Md. Masudul Haq was a Bangladeshi Army officer and an adviser for the labor ministry in the advisory council of presidents Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem and Major General Ziaur Rahman until 1977.
Fasihuddin Mahtab, also spelt Fashiuddin Mahtab, was a Bangladeshi researcher, social worker and the secretary-general of BIRDEM and Diabetic Association of Bangladesh, as well as a member of President Ziaur Rahman's advisory council and later technocrat minister. He was also the son-in-law of BIRDEM founder Muhammad Ibrahim, who was also a member of the advisory council.
Akbar Kabir was a Bangladeshi social worker and an adviser for the information ministry in the advisory council of presidents Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem and Major General Ziaur Rahman from September 1976 to October 1977. He was also the brother of former Indian Bengali education minister Humayun Kabir and Congress politician Jehangir Kabir as well as the father-in-law of renowned Bangladeshi barrister Nazmul Huda, who has also served in the Ministry of Information during former prime minister Khaleda Zia's first ministry.
Ashfaque Hossain Khan was an adviser for the petroleum ministry, today the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, in the advisory council of President Ziaur Rahman.
