11th JS session set to resume


Dhaka, Nov 20 -The 11th session of the ninth parliament is set to resume on Sunday after a 23-day break amid uncertainty over the return of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

The session is scheduled to begin at 4.30pm.

The current session started on Oct 20 and was initially adjourned on Oct 27 till Nov 14 in line with a parliamentary standing committee decision. The recess was later extended to Nov 20 due to Eid-ul-Azha.

"There has not been any decision regarding whether the current session will end this month," said chief whip Abdus Shahid.

The ninth parliament began its journey on Jan 25, 2009.

The BNP last joined the House on March 23 during the eighth session and walked out the same day.
It has been boycotting the House, saying that there is no 'congenial atmosphere'.
