Dhaka, Oct. 23 -- Lawyer Sharif Bhuiyan has argued before the Appellate Division that the 1/11 political crisis in Bangladesh occurred because former president Iajuddin Ahmed "breached' the Constitution.

The hearing on appeals against the verdict that annulled the caretaker government system began on Tuesday.
