Chief Whip Nurul Islam announced that sixteen ordinances previously annulled will later be reintroduced as bills in the national parliament. He made the statement on Sunday at the Speaker’s office in the National Parliament Building after the oath-taking ceremony of two newly elected members. The Chief Whip said the BNP aims to build a humane and welfare-oriented state and currently holds 210 parliamentary seats. He added that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman urged everyone not to take the law into their own hands and to report problems to the administration.

According to Nurul Islam, a special parliamentary committee reviewed 133 ordinances issued during the interim period, recommending the passage of 98 without changes and 15 with amendments. Of the remaining 20, four were canceled and sixteen were proposed to be reintroduced as stronger bills. He noted that 117 ordinances were passed within five days, calling it a record pace, though he expressed disappointment at the opposition’s walkout on the final day.

The session also saw the passage of multiple development, financial, and cultural bills, including those concerning urban development authorities, banking, education, and cybersecurity.
