Speaker rejects 76 notices of BNP lawmakers
Speaker Abdul Hamid yesterday rejected all 76 notices submitted by several BNP lawmakers demanding discussion in parliament on various issues including deterioration in law and order, share market crash, price hike of essentials and border killings.
The Speaker said he has examined the contents of the notices and found that the government has already taken action to address many issues. “I hope the government will take more steps to resolve these issues.”
He however mentioned that had the MPs were present in the House, it could have been possible to hold a discussion on one of the notices.
BNP lawmakers Jafrul Islam Chwodhury, Abul Khair Bhuiyan, AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon, Nazimuddin Ahmed, Rehana Akhtar Ranu and Nilufar Chowdhury Moni submitted the notices demanding adjournment of the scheduled business of the House and discussion on the issues.
The opposition MPs have been boycotting the parliament proceedings since June last year.
