Speaking to reporters after the ceremony, Rumeen said, “This parliament does not have lawmakers elected by the people. And that is why I ended up in parliament.”Of the 50 reserved seats in the 11th national parliament, 49 were won by uncontested by women MPs. The Awami League has 43 women MPs, the Jatiya Party has four while the Workers' Party and independents have one MP apiece. The single reserved seat allocated to the BNP had been suspended before the party's MPs were sworn in. The government should provide this time and space for their own benefit,” said Rumeen.
