Jordan remembers King Talal By JT - Jul 07,2021 - Last updated at Jul 07,2021 AMMAN — Wednesday marks the 49th anniversary of the death of King Talal Bin Abdullah, father of His Majesty the late King Hussein and Their Royal Highnesses Prince Mohammad, Prince Hassan and Princess Basma. Under the reign of King Talal, who passed away on July 7, 1972, the country prepared a new liberalised Constitution in 1952, which introduced a culture of Arab unity by declaring Jordan part of the Arab nation. The Constitution also established a new relationship between the government and Parliament by obliging the former to be held accountable by the latter and to be responsible for its actions before the legislature.
