JS resumes budget session today
Staff Correspondent
The budget session of the Jatiya Sangsad resumes this afternoon after a two-day recess with discussion starting on supplementary budget for fiscal year 2005-06.The Business Advisory Committee (Bac) earlier decided to have six hours of discussion on the supplementary budget, which will be passed on June 14. In the day's programme, the question-answer session will be tabled but call attention notices will not be entertained to accommodate more discussion on the supplementary budget, parliament secretariat sources said. Discussion on the proposed budget will begin on June 15, and the House will pass the budget on June 30, according to the Bac decision. The current session of parliament will continue until July 10. The main opposition lawmakers have been boycotting parliament since the 15th session, citing a number of reasons. The government's reluctance to hold discussion on the killing of former finance minister Shah ASM Kibria by adjourning day's business during the 15th session was one. Other opposition members in two factions of Jatiya Party, Krishak Sramik Janata League, and independent lawmakers will take part in the budget discussion.
