The opposition alliance led by Jamaat-e-Islami has called an emergency press conference following its walkout from the 13th National Parliament. The briefing is scheduled for Thursday, April 9, at 8:30 p.m. in the National Parliament’s Media Centre, according to a statement from the opposition. The event will address the walkout and broader issues related to the passage of what the opposition described as an anti-people bill.

Earlier in the evening, around 6 p.m., the opposition walked out of the parliamentary session, alleging that several anti-people bills had been passed despite their objections. Before leaving, opposition leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman stated that the opposition could not take responsibility for the passage of such bills, even though they had raised logical objections.

The press conference is expected to elaborate on the opposition’s stance regarding the bills and their protest actions in parliament.
