Moreover, some bills including the Insurance Bill-2009 and the Insurance Control Bill-2009, which were piloted in the previous sessions, are under the consideration of parliament.
Meanwhile, the joining of the main opposition BNP in parliament remains uncertain, as it is yet to take any decision on the issue despite repeated calls from Speaker Abdul Hamid as well as the treasury bench.
BNP has been boycotting parliament since the budget session for various demands.
