dbo:abstract
  • The Basic Principles Committee (BPC) was a specialized committee set up in March 1949 by Khawaja Nazimuddin. The committee's sole purpose was to determine the basic underlying principles that would determine future constitutions and legislature in Pakistan. Initial recommendations and proposals suggested by the BPC were strongly criticized in the local media and the public. Much of the criticism came from East Pakistan where the committee proposals were said to be subversive of the ideology of Pakistan, under-representing the majority province and neglecting the Bengali language thoroughly in the constitutional and legislative process. The suggestion of the formation of a religious oversight board was also seen as "undemocratic [and] an insult to Islam". (en)
