In a parliamentary session on Thursday, Opposition Leader and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman called for national unity, urging all sides to move beyond historical divisions to build the country together. He also demanded justice for the killing of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi, emphasizing his call for accountability for all injustices committed against them.

During the same session, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman reflected on the burdens of leadership, saying that while the prime minister’s chair may appear comfortable, it feels like sitting on burning fire. He began his speech by paying tribute to the martyrs of 1971 and those who died on May 5, 2013, at Shapla Chattar.

The session highlighted contrasting yet complementary appeals from both leaders—one focusing on justice and unity, the other on sacrifice and responsibility—underscoring ongoing efforts to reconcile the nation’s political and historical divides.
