Forty-five lawmakers elected to the reserved seats for
women are expected to join parliament when its maiden session resumes
today after a lengthy break, officials at the parliament secretariat
said.
The newly elected lawmakers to the parliamentary reserved seats for women are scheduled to take oath in the morning while the session will resume in the afternoon, they said.
Speaker Abdul Hamid will administer oath to the women lawmakers belonging to the ruling Awami League and Jatiya Party and opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party at 11:00am onwards at the oath room of parliament.
As the parties nominated the female lawmakers in proportion to their representation in parliament, they were declared elected unopposed to the parliamentary reserved seats by the Election Commission.
The Awami League has 36 female lawmakers while the Jatiya Party, a coalition partner of the Awami League, has four women lawmakers. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has five female lawmakers in parliamentary reserved seats.
The Awami League lawmakers are: Ashrafunnessa Mosharraf, Jahanara Begum, Shahida Tarek Dipti, Sharifa Khatun, Asma Jarin Jhumu, Mamtaj Begum, Tarana Halim, Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury, Faridunnahar Laily, Rubi Rahman, Zobeda Khatun, Amina Ahmed, Chemon Ara Toieb, Ethinab Rakhain, Farida Rahman, Noor Afroz Ali,
Nur Jahan Begum,

Sathi, Jebunnesa Huq, Tahura Ali, Shahin Monwara Haque, Nazma Akhtar,
Apu Ukil, Mahfuza Rahman Rina, Sadhana Halder, Zinatunnesa Talukder,
Khadiza Khatun Shefali, Shefali Mamtaz, Shawkat Ara Begum, Farida

The BNP lawmakers are: Rasheda Begum Hira, Rehana Akhter Ranu, Shammi Akhter, Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papiya, Bilkis Akhter Jahan and Nilufar Chowdhury Moni.
The current session of Jatiya Sangsad that began on January 25 had gone into a 10-day recess on March 19 in line with a decision of the business advisory committee apparently to avoid a short session between the winter and the budget sessions to comply with the constitutional obligation of holding session in 60 days.
The session, scheduled to resume at 4:45pm, is expected to deal with regular question-answer session, call attention notices, placing of a report on Consumers’ Rights Protection Bill 2009 by the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry of commerce, and passage of two bills.
The house is also expected to pass The Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Bill 2009 and the Right to Information Bill 2009, according to the order of the day.
