The third session of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) will convene this afternoon.

According to Chief Whip of Parliament Nurul Islam Moni, forming parliamentary committees will be given top priority during this session, scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM on Thursday, August 27.

In an interview with the media on Wednesday, August 26, he stated that the relevant parliamentary committees will be finalized as soon as the names of members from the opposition are received.

The session may be a brief one lasting 5, 7, or 10 days, though its duration will be extended if necessary.

Approximately six important bills are expected to be tabled during this third session, notably concerning property transfer, enforced disappearances, and human rights protection.

Regarding the proposed property transfer law, he stated that even if parents deed property to their children, they will retain the right to possess and use that property as long as they are alive.

This initiative aims to prevent children from neglecting their parents after property has been transferred.

Addressing the July Charter and constitutional amendments, Nurul Islam Moni said that based on the July Charter, the public voted after reviewing election manifestos and reposed their trust in the government, leading to Tarique Rahman becoming Prime Minister.

New laws will be enacted and existing laws amended as necessary in the interest of the country.

He further noted that even changing a comma, full stop, or semicolon in the constitution is part of constitutional reform. The goal is to properly implement every aspect of the commitment jointly signed by political parties at the South Plaza under the July Charter.

Additionally, he announced a proposal to form a 17-member committee for constitutional amendments.

The proposal includes allocating seven members from the BNP, five from Jamaat, and one member each from other smaller parties. Opposition parties will also be included in the committee upon submitting their members' names.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened around the Parliament Building and surrounding areas in view of the parliamentary session.

To maintain peace and order, the administration has prohibited meetings, rallies, processions, and demonstrations in the area.

Everyone has been urged to comply with security guidelines during the session, with strict warnings issued against any deterioration of law and order or disruptions.

The Chief Whip expressed hope that parliamentary activities will become more dynamic through this third session, enabling the national parliament to play a more effective role in enacting crucial legislation, enhancing the functionality of parliamentary committees, and ensuring government accountability.
