Bangladesh opposition calls new general strike
None
Bangladesh's main opposition parties have called a general strike for Sunday to protest government moves to amend the constitution, marking the second nationwide shutdown this month.
Main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its ally Islamic fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami say they will enforce the 36-hour strike beginning at dawn Sunday. The opposition says the government wants to repeal a provision that requires it to hand over power at the end of its term. (AP)
