Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Leader of the Opposition Dr. Shafiqur Rahman expressed frustration in the National Parliament on Friday, April 10, after the unanimous passage of the Finance Bill for the 2025–2026 fiscal year. He said that opposition members were not provided with necessary documents before the session began, despite prior requests made during the second meeting of the Business Advisory Committee.

Dr. Rahman explained that the opposition had asked for all 133 ordinances and related documents to be delivered at least three days in advance, or at minimum one day before the session. However, he received the documents only when they were placed on the table during the session. He remarked that without time to review the materials, he could not responsibly vote for or against the bill.

He added that government party members might have understood the documents quickly due to their expertise, but opposition members could not. He sought guidance on how to proceed under such circumstances.
