Dy Speaker rejects BNP MP's notices
Deputy Speaker Shawkat Ali in parliament yesterday rejected all the 25 notices on various issues submitted by a BNP lawmaker for discussion.
BNP lawmaker Jafrul Islam Chwodhury submitted the notices demanding for adjournment of the scheduled business of the House to discuss the issues including World Bank's allegations of corruption in the Padma Bridge project and Hall-Mark scam.
Shawkat Ali, who was presided over the sitting at that time, said he has examined the content of the notices and found that some of the notices are based on guess and the rest can be settled through other provisions of the rules of procedure of parliament.
The opposition lawmakers have been boycotting parliament proceedings since March.
