Government Whip and Lakshmipur-4 Member of Parliament ABM Ashraf Uddin Nizan expressed regret that he could not personally thank President Sahabuddin Chuppu. Speaking in the national parliament on Wednesday during the discussion on the motion of thanks for the President’s address, Nizan said he had promised the mothers of the July uprising martyrs to respect the President’s chair, but he could not extend personal thanks to the individual holding that position.

Recalling the July uprising in his home district, Nizan described how people’s anger led to the destruction of rooms in the parliament building and the removal of materials from Ganabhaban, emphasizing that it was not the work of political groups but of ordinary citizens expressing frustration. He also reflected on the ninth parliament, criticizing the language used in parliamentary debates and recalling how opposition leader Khaleda Zia was treated.

The remarks came as part of a broader parliamentary discussion on the President’s speech, highlighting both historical grievances and calls for respect toward state institutions.
