Source-derived summary

When President Ziaur Rahman was assassinated on 30 May 1981, Abdus Sattar assumed the duties of the acting President of Bangladesh. Later, he was elected president and formed two cabinets. The first on 24 November 1981 and the second on 12 February 1982. The cabinet was in effect until 24 March 1982.

Editorial summary

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “eighth Cabinet of Bangladesh” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q118115000. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1981 and 1982.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
