Opposition Leader Shafiqur Rahman today placed a notice for holding a discussion on convening the Constitution Reform Council at the Jatiya Sangsad.
Deputy Speaker Kayser Kamal, after a debate between treasury bench and opposition members, said a decision on the matter would be announced later in the day’s proceedings.
After the question-and-answer session, Shafiqur, taking part in the unscheduled discussion, said that he had raised a matter of public importance, and the speaker advised him to submit the notice properly.
“We have done so. Now, through you, I am presenting this notice in the parliament. The subject of the notice is the July National Charter Constitution Reform Implementation Order 2025,” Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami ameer said.
Chief Whip Nurul Islam Moni, taking the floor, said according to the tradition, any matter is raised only after the starred questions and Rule 71 discussions are completed. “I would request the leader of the opposition to wait until the rules are finished,” he said.
Shafiqur again took the floor and said, “In line with the speaker’s instruction, I stood up after the question-answer session. This is both my right and my responsibility.”
