Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that opposition parties have the right to walk out of parliament, describing it as part of parliamentary culture. He made the remarks on Wednesday, April 1, during a parliamentary session after opposition leader Dr. Shafiqul Rahman announced a walkout over the government’s lack of decision on a referendum reform proposal and the formation of a constitutional council.
In his response, the minister explained that while the opposition’s walkout is within their rights, it is important that the government’s position also be recorded. He elaborated on procedural rules, noting that certain motions cannot be discussed under parliamentary regulations and that decisions on adjournment motions rest with the Speaker. Ahmed emphasized that discussions on such motions do not require a vote once they have been debated.
He further clarified that the Speaker has discretion over whether to consider adjournment motions and that opposition members have the privilege to raise issues, but those must follow established parliamentary procedures.
