During a parliamentary session on Friday, April 10, 2026, Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed addressed Hasnat Abdullah, urging him to remain patient and composed during discussions. The Speaker remarked, “This is not Shahbagh Square, this is the Parliament,” emphasizing that members must wait their turn and listen carefully during proceedings.

He further noted that the scope for oral exchanges in Parliament is limited and advised members to submit notices for adjudication. Referring to a statement by the law minister, the Speaker suggested that if necessary, members could discuss among themselves and bring a revised bill in the next session, which the ruling party would consider.

Hafiz Uddin also called for maintaining a positive parliamentary environment, highlighting that the current Parliament was formed after a major July uprising and a fair election that brought a large opposition presence. He expressed hope that all parties would move forward in a spirit of cooperation.
