Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament concluded its first session on April 30, 2026, after 25 working days marked by heated debates and multiple walkouts. The session, which began on March 12 under senior member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain’s chairmanship, saw the passage of 94 bills, including 91 ordinances reissued from the interim government. The most contentious discussions centered on the Liberation War and the use of the so-called “’71 card,” as ruling BNP lawmakers repeatedly invoked the war to challenge opposition Jamaat-e-Islami’s historical role. The opposition staged four walkouts over issues including the July Charter, constitutional reform meetings, and ordinance repeals.
Political analysts described the session as vibrant yet divisive, noting that BNP used the Liberation War narrative much like the former Awami League government once did. They observed that while the parliament displayed greater procedural balance and neutrality from the Speaker, debates often revived old ideological divisions. Analysts also highlighted that the session reflected both cooperation and confrontation between the government and opposition.
Experts suggested that despite its energy, the session exposed weaknesses in legislative effectiveness and warned that unresolved issues around the July Charter and reform ordinances could shape future political tensions.
