The opening of the 13th National Parliament session in Bangladesh on March 12, 2026, began with an unexpected moment of humor. With the previous Speaker absconding and the Deputy Speaker imprisoned, there was initially no one to preside over the session. Prime Minister Tarique Rahman nominated Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain to chair the first sitting, a proposal accepted by the opposition.
During his speech, Deputy Leader of the Opposition Dr. Taher expressed satisfaction with the nomination, noting that Dr. Hossain was a senior leader. He added that prior consultation with the opposition would have been preferable, though they would have supported the choice regardless. At one point, Dr. Taher humorously remarked that their homes were near each other in Comilla, prompting laughter across the chamber.
The lighthearted exchange created a cheerful atmosphere in the parliamentary hall, marking a lively start to the new session.
