The Thirteenth National Parliament of Bangladesh resumed its adjourned session on Sunday at 3 p.m. The first session, which began on March 12, had been adjourned until March 29. This resumed sitting is expected to be heated due to discussions surrounding the implementation of the July National Charter (Constitutional Reform) and the Referendum Ordinance 2025. Opposition parties, including Jamaat and its allies, have demanded debates on these issues and submitted multiple notices, according to the Parliament Secretariat.

The day’s agenda includes question-and-answer sessions for the Local Government Division, the Rural Development and Cooperatives Division, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Election Commission, and the President’s Office. Notices submitted under Rule 71 on urgent public matters have been resolved. The current session is scheduled to continue until April 30.

A special committee was earlier formed to review 133 ordinances issued during the outgoing interim government. Of these, 113 have already gained consensus between the government and opposition, while the remaining 20 will be discussed in the committee’s third meeting tonight. According to the constitution, ordinances must be passed within 30 days or they will be void, requiring completion by April 12.
