Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed advised Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud to thoroughly study related matters before making any commitments in the National Parliament. The advice came on Sunday during a parliamentary session after the minister responded to a supplementary question from MP Rumin Farhana regarding gas supply to the Ashuganj Fertilizer Factory.
Rumin Farhana reminded the minister that he had earlier promised gas supply to the factory by May 1, but more than a month had passed without fulfillment. She also highlighted severe power shortages in rural areas, describing them as lasting 10 to 12 hours daily. In reply, the minister disagreed with her assessment, citing a gas shortage and the need to prioritize power plants. He said gas supply would resume once the situation improved and mentioned that drilling activities had recently begun after a long gap.
Following the exchange, the Speaker urged ministers to be more responsible when making parliamentary commitments, emphasizing the need for prior study of technical and logistical factors before giving assurances.
