Emergency provisions are dealt with part 9(A) of the Constitution. The part contains three 

articles 141A, 141B and 141C.

Article 141A says,

"If the president is satisfied that a grave emergency exists in which the security or economic 

life of Bangladesh, or any part thereof is threatened by war or external aggression or internal

disturbance, he may issue a proclamation of emergency"

Thus, the president can declare emergency on three grounds

1. war, 

2. external aggression or 

3. internal disturbance.

Two types of emergencies, therefore, can be declared under the constitution of Bangladesh –

a. emergency of war and 

b. emergency of subversion.
