State Minister for Labour, Employment and Expatriates’ Welfare Nurul Haque Nur faced repeated difficulties while introducing a bill during a session of the National Parliament on Thursday, April 9, 2026. Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed allowed him to correct his mistakes during the presentation. The incident drew attention on social media, prompting reactions from political figures.

Former General Secretary of Gono Odhikar Parishad and current BNP activist Rashed Khan publicly defended Nur through a verified Facebook post. He explained that the issue arose from an error in the written text of the bill, not from Nur’s reading ability. According to Rashed, ministers usually do not prepare the documents themselves, and the problem likely resulted from an official drafting mistake that Nur failed to notice earlier due to time constraints.

Rashed Khan added that Nur is new to parliament and one of the youngest among ministers and state ministers. He expressed hope that Nur would correct the error and perform better in the future, extending his best wishes to his former colleague.
