The opposition in Bangladesh’s Jatiya Sangsad on Sunday submitted a motion to suspend regular proceedings and demanded discussion on a notice regarding the convening of the Constitution Reform Council session. Opposition Leader Dr. Shafiqul Rahman raised the issue after the question-answer session, citing the July National Charter and the Constitution Reform Implementation Order 2025 as the basis for his notice. Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaiser Kamal, presiding over the session, decided to continue with the day’s agenda while assuring that the matter would be considered later.
The debate intensified as ruling party Chief Whip Nurul Islam and Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed argued that, by parliamentary convention, such motions should be raised only after the completion of Rule 71 discussions. Opposition Chief Whip Nahid Islam countered that the issue was of national importance and should be discussed promptly, referencing the recent referendum and the July Charter. The Deputy Speaker reiterated that the notice would be reviewed and a decision announced after Rule 71 proceedings.
The Speaker later assured that the issue would be discussed in the next or a scheduled session, calming tensions in the chamber.
