Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish lawmaker Sayeduddin Ahmad Hanzala submitted a special privilege notice in the Jatiya Sangsad after alleging that he was publicly called a 'militant MP' in the parliament area on March 30. The issue was raised during Thursday’s session chaired by Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad, who referred the notice to the parliamentary committee on privileges for further examination and reporting.

Hanzala told the House that the remark had spread on social media, causing him social humiliation and violating his parliamentary privileges. He described the term as a 'fascist word' and said that for the past 17 years, such language had been used to defame religiously observant individuals. He urged the Speaker to ensure that all members, regardless of party affiliation, could maintain their dignity.

Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad confirmed that the matter would be investigated by the standing committee on privileges, which he chairs, to determine whether the MP’s special rights were infringed.
