Parliament may go into session by March 12

The 13th National Parliament is likely to go into its maiden session on March 12 or one or two days earlier, said Home Minister and BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed.
"The first session of the National Parliament will begin on March 12 next or one or two days earlier," Salahuddin Ahmed told journalists on Saturday night, reports UNB.
The BNP leader said the Speaker and Deputy Speaker would be elected during the session.
"During this session, the ordinances promulgated during the tenure of the interim government will be placed before Parliament, and an obituary motion will also be presented," he added.
Earlier, on February 17, the newly elected members of the 13th Parliament --from both the treasury and opposition benches -- were sworn in by Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin.
