Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday told parliament a vested quarter has once again become active ahead of the next election and it wants to go to power through unconstitutional means. “There is a section of people who are the real problem for the country and its people,” she said responding to a supplementary question from opposition lawmaker Fakhrul Imam.

The Jatiya Sangsad goes into its 17th session today after a 58-day recess.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asks the authorities concerned to stay alert so that the Jamaat-Shibir activists and those involved in terrorist and militant acts could not be recruited in the police force.

A parliamentary body asks the government to ensure exemplary punishment to the police personnel responsible for tarnishing the image of the police department.

The long pervasive culture of parliament boycott by main opposition MPs has significantly changed with Jatiya Party lawmakers attending all the 174 sittings of the current Jatiya Sangsad over the last two years.
