Parliament has descended into heated exchanges over an Opposition notice seeking a session of the Constitutional Reform Council to implement proposals under the July National Charter. The dispute intensified when Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed questioned the notice’s legality on Sunday, sparking protests and uproar from Opposition members. The July Charter outlines 48 constitutional reform proposals. As he spoke, Opposition MPs rose in protest, forcing him to seek “protection” from the chair amid mounting disorder. Law Minister Asaduzzaman termed the proposal “timely and reasonable”, but sought preparation time, noting MPs needed relevant documents before debate.
