The ongoing budget session, parliamentary activities and formation of Bangladesh-US Parliamentary Caucus were discussed in detail during the meeting.
This time, Chief Whip said, the government is working tirelessly to ensure the best and fair use of the country’s limited resources. The main goal of the government is to improve the quality of life of the people and ensure sustainable development through the implementation of the budget.
He further said that after 17 years of democratic movement and struggle, an effective Parliament has been formed reflecting the expectations of the people.
260 new members were elected to the 13th National Parliament and this is their first budget session.
Nurul Islam said, the new members are working sincerely to master the parliamentary rules and procedures. Although in the past there was relatively little interest in parliamentary activities among the people, now they are following regular parliamentary sessions, which is very positive for democratic practices.

The formation of the Bangladesh-US Parliamentary Caucus will strengthen communication, exchange of experience and mutual cooperation between the lawmakers of the two countries. He lauded the Chief Whip’s role in establishing an effective and accountable Parliament for the people.
