BNP Secretary General and Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir recited a poem written by poet Al Mahmud about Begum Khaleda Zia in the National Parliament. The recitation took place on Thursday during a discussion on a condolence motion. Major (Retd.) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, Bir Bikram, was presiding as Speaker at the time.

The session marks a continuation of parliamentary proceedings following the political changes that occurred after the 2024 mass uprising, which led to the fall of the Awami League government. The last parliamentary session before that event concluded on July 3, 2024, after the passage of the 2024–25 fiscal year budget. The current session has been adjourned until Sunday.

The event reflects the resumption of parliamentary activities under the new political context, with cultural and commemorative expressions taking place within formal proceedings.
