Opposition leader Dr. Shafiqul Rahman sharply criticized the government in Bangladesh’s National Parliament on Monday, April 20, 2026, calling the ongoing fuel and gas shortage the country’s most pressing issue. He moved an adjournment motion to discuss the crisis, during a session chaired by Deputy Speaker Kaiser Kamal. Rahman said that while the government claims there is no fuel shortage, citizens outside parliament are struggling to obtain oil.
He argued that the government’s official statements do not match the reality faced by ordinary people, citing widespread public dissatisfaction. Rahman noted that even the High Court has had to operate virtually due to the crisis, questioning the government’s denial of shortages.

Rahman acknowledged that the crisis has global dimensions linked to war-related disruptions but urged inclusive discussion and cooperation. He requested that the Speaker allocate time for a detailed debate in the presence of the Leader of the House to address the issue comprehensively.
