Prime Minister Tarique Rahman began his speech in Thursday’s parliamentary session by paying tribute to the martyrs of Shapla Chattar. He expressed respect for those who were martyred in 1971 and also remembered those who lost their lives on May 5, 2013, at Shapla Chattar.

Earlier in the same session, Leader of the Opposition and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman demanded justice for the killing of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi. He called for justice for all forms of injustice committed against them and specifically sought accountability for the murder of Osman Hadi.

The session also highlighted broader national themes, including the Prime Minister’s statement that a significant portion of GDP would be allocated to education and health sectors, and that Police Week would begin on May 10 with 107 officers receiving medals.
