JS goes to 23rd session Sunday

The Jatiya Sangsad (JS) will go into its 23rd session on Sunday which is likely to be the last session of the 10th parliament formed after the 2014 national election.

Prior to the start of the session at 4:30pm, the business advisory committee of parliament will meet with Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair to fix the duration and businesses of the coming session.

This session is likely to be the last session of the current parliament as there is no obligation to summon any session of parliament during the national election, reports UNB.

The Election Commission (EC) has already said it will declare the schedule for the 11th national election any day after October.

On October 4, President Abdul Hamid convened the session exercising his power bestowed upon him by article 72 (1) of the Constitution.

The 10th parliament went into its maiden session on January 29, 2014.
