The first session of Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament, which was adjourned earlier, will resume today at 3 p.m. in the Parliament House chamber. The session, initially convened on March 12, was suspended on March 15 due to Eid-ul-Fitr and other holidays. Speaker Major (Retd.) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed will preside over the sitting.

Chief Whip Md. Nurul Islam stated that the third day of the session will focus mainly on discussions over the motion of thanks on the President’s address. Members from both the government and opposition benches are expected to participate. The agenda also includes a scheduled question-and-answer session for ministers and discussions on national importance notices.

According to the decision of the Parliament’s Business Advisory Committee, the ongoing session will continue until April 30, with a total of 50 hours allocated for debate on the President’s speech.
