Khaleda in JS for first time since Jan 28 walkout

Leader of the opposition Khaleda Zia returned to parliament on Sunday, for the first time since the Jan 28 walkout of BNP MPs.

The Jatiya Sangsad was sitting from 4pm after two day’s break, with MPs of ruling and opposition parties joining the House on the concluding day of a national mourning period for those killed in the BDR mutiny.

The opposition parties, led by BNP, had earlier boycotted the House in a weeks-long protesting against seating arrangements.

BNP returned to the parliament on Feb 22, just days before the Feb 25-26 mutiny by border guards at Peelkhana that left scores of officers dead.
