Expressing displeasure over what he termed a 'Shahbagh-like attitude,' Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad on Friday urged NCP's Hasnat Abdullah, MP for Cumilla-4, to follow parliamentary norms, reports UNB.
"Don't be so intolerant, Mr. Abdullah. This is not Shahbagh Square. This is the Parliament. Here you have to wait patiently. You have to listen," the Speaker said.
The parliament witnessed a heated exchange during a contentious debate over the passage of the July Memorial Museum Bill, 2026.
Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad, while addressing the House, compared the current parliament with previous ones, describing the present assembly as more disciplined, vibrant, and effective.
His remarks were immediately met with fierce protest from Hasnat Abdullah, a front-line leader of the July movement and a National Citizen Party (NCP) MP.
Hasnat had left his seat and stood up, shouting in protest.
Attempting to restore order amidst the shouting, the Speaker directly addressed the NCP lawmaker with a stern warning.
