Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaiser Kamal said the National Parliament should serve as the mirror of the nation, reflecting the people's democratic hopes and aspirations. Speaking on Sunday, March 29, 2026, during the first session of the 13th National Parliament after a 13-day recess, he noted that some members came to Parliament from death row, some from abduction, and others after long imprisonment, making this Parliament rare in the world. He expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister, all members, and the people of Netrakona-1 for their trust and support.

Kamal emphasized that Bangladesh’s national history is rooted in sacrifice and struggle, with the Liberation War forming the foundation of independence. He paid tribute to the martyrs and freedom fighters and remembered former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia for restoring parliamentary democracy in 1991 and for her lifelong leadership against autocracy. He also recalled the 2024 student uprising that he said ended fascism and reopened the path to democracy.

The Deputy Speaker honored the martyrs of the July movement and expressed sympathy for those left disabled or suffering as a result of the struggle.
