An unprecedented incident occurred in Bangladesh’s National Parliament when President Md. Shahabuddin entered the chamber to deliver his scheduled speech. As soon as he arrived, lawmakers from the opposition parties Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizens Party (NCP) stood up and began protesting, displaying placards reading 'July’s traitor'. The protest took place on Thursday, March 12, 2026, shortly after the parliamentary session began.

Despite the commotion, the President proceeded toward the dais to deliver his address. However, the opposition MPs from the Jamaat alliance continued their uproar during his speech. After the President began speaking, the protesting members staged a walkout from the session.

The event marked a rare disruption during a presidential address in Parliament, highlighting heightened political tensions within the ongoing session.
