Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, the son of former Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ghulam Azam, has called for changes to Bangladesh's national anthem and Constitution. Azmi was a victim of ""enforced disappearance"" for eight years and was released from captivity on August 7. He shared his experiences and suggestions with journalists at a press conference.
Azmi believes that the current national anthem is contrary to the existence of independent Bangladesh and that there are many songs that could serve as a national anthem. He also calls for a new commission to select a new national anthem and for changes in the Constitution to ensure human rights and repeal any laws contrary to human rights.
Azmi also expressed his desire for a reinvestigation and trial for the killing of 57 army officers during the BDR mutiny in Pilkhana. He also demanded reprisals for the killing of 57 army officers during the BDR mutiny in Pilkhana and called for a reinvestigation and trial.
Azmi reaffirmed his belief that Professor Ghulam Azam was the greatest Bengali in history and claimed that those who spoke against him were Indian agents receiving salaries from India. He also called for those who died or played a heroic role in the anti-discrimination student movement to be honored with various titles, similar to the freedom fighters of 1971.
