Later, the speaker began to settle the amendments to the bill and forwarded them to a committee for scrutiny. Members of BNP, Jatiya Party, the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and the Workers Party had brought the amendment proposals to the bill. The bill drew flak from the political parties as well as from the civil society in Bangladesh. It was then forwarded to the parliamentary standing committee on the law, justice and parliamentary affairs ministry to scrutinise it and submit a report back to the parliament in a week. Shahiduzzaman Sarkar, president of the parliamentary standing committee, brought the bill to the parliament with two amendment recommendations on Wednesday.
