Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaiser Kamal expressed hope that practicing Westminster-style democracy would help build a strong democratic nation. He made the remarks on Sunday while presiding over a session of the National Parliament in the absence of the Speaker. Kamal described the current parliament as a rare one in world history, noting that many members had endured imprisonment, exile, or persecution before joining. He offered gratitude to the Prime Minister, the Leader of the House, and his constituency’s people for their support.

In his address, Kamal paid tribute to the martyrs of the Liberation War, late President Ziaur Rahman, and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, whom he called the “Mother of Democracy.” Recalling the 2024 student and public uprising that ended fascism, he honored those who sacrificed their lives. He pledged neutrality in conducting parliamentary duties and said he had resigned from his party post to ensure impartiality.

Drawing from his experience studying in the United Kingdom, Kamal said that adopting Westminster-style parliamentary practices could lead Bangladesh toward democratic success, emphasizing cooperation between the government and opposition as essential to effective democracy.
