The High Court on Thursday observed that the patriotism of a person who has dual citizenship is divided into two parts.
The bench of Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Kizir Hayat Lizu made the observation after a hearing in this regard.
The court also set February 13 for passing an order on the purchase of property by people who have dual citizenship and whether they can be appointed to important posts (responsibilities) as per the constitution and existing laws.
Besides, the court sought an explanation from the government about the issues following the constitution.
Earlier, a daily brought to light a report with the heading “Spending spree to buy properties abroad” on Thursday.
Deputy Attorney General AKM Amin Uddin Manik drew the attention of the court in this regard.
Later, the court made the observation during the hearing and set the date for the order as per the constitution.
The report said there is competition among Bangladeshis to buy houses and wealth in Canada, the US, Dubai and London.
Earlier, Singapore and Malaysia were at the top of the list of choices for Bangladeshis to purchase houses and properties.
Currently, Bangladeshis are in the top position in the race to buy houses and properties compared to developed countries, it claimed.
Economists say Bangladeshis who earned money legally or illegally to buy properties and houses abroad, took the money outside the country illegally as the existing rules allow no transfer of money from the country.
