National Parliament Chief Whip Nurul Islam Moni said parliamentary committees will receive top priority during the third session of parliament, due to begin Thursday. Speaking to reporters at the parliament building on Wednesday, he said relevant committees would be finalized as soon as opposition parties submit their nominees. He said the session could last five, seven or 10 days, with an extension possible if necessary.

Moni said about six important bills could be introduced during the session, including measures concerning property transfers, enforced disappearances and human rights protection. Under the proposed property-transfer law, parents who transfer property to children would retain rights to possess and use it while alive. He said the measure aims to prevent children from neglecting parents after receiving transferred property.

The chief whip also outlined a proposed 17-member committee for constitutional amendments, with seven members from BNP and five from Jamaat proposed. He said opposition parties should raise public concerns, identify government errors and seek solutions through parliamentary debate. Moni said major infrastructure problems, including power plants, require time to address, and criticized past power-sector contracts, including the Adani agreement, as creating long-term economic pressure.
