Senior Awami League lawmaker Amir Hossain Amu on Tuesday said there is still chance for discussion on the caretaker government issue and it could take place in parliament or anywhere.
Amu said that discussion was the only means to bring something positive which would be accepted by all.
He criticised the opposition BNP for not responding to the government's call for discussion on the caretaker and constitution amendment issues.
'They are eager to take the country on a different track,' he said while discussing on proposed budget in parliament.
Amu lamented at BNP's absence in the special committee on constitution amendment.
On the constitution amendment issue, he blamed the subsequent governments after 1975 for changing the constitution frequently.
Amu urged the opposition to shun their negative politics and come for a dialogue for reaching a consensus on the important national issues.
On the court's authority to amend the constitution, Amu said there were instances of accepting the court's ruling on constitution amendment in the past.
'If the court can be the guardian and interpreter of the constitution, it has the authority to cancel any provision which is contradictory to the basic principles of the constitution,' he said.
