Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker Saiful Islam on Monday demanded a statement under Rule 300 in Bangladesh’s National Parliament after Prime Minister’s Information Adviser Zahedur Rahman was reportedly denied entry into New Delhi. Speaking on a point of order, the MP said that despite proper diplomatic communication, Rahman was kept waiting for two hours at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport before being allowed entry, after which he chose to return.

The lawmaker questioned whether the incident reflected a diplomatic failure and urged the government to clarify what actions had been taken. In response, Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed said the issue did not qualify as a point of order but could be considered if a formal notice was submitted.

The incident has drawn attention to diplomatic procedures and the handling of official visits, though no further government response was recorded in the session.
