Opposition leader Md. Shafiqur Rahman has publicly questioned a recent remark made by ruling party Chairman and Member of Parliament Andalib Rahman Partha. Partha reportedly offered to personally provide a microwave oven to a Member of Parliament from the Jamaat-e-Islami party. Rahman responded with a rhetorical question, asking who had requested the appliance. The exchange occurred during the tenth day of the second and first budget sessions of the thirteenth National Parliament on Thursday, June 18th. The debate centered around the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year. Rahman’s comments appear to be a critique of Partha’s gesture, implying it was unnecessary or inappropriate given the context of the parliamentary proceedings. The incident has drawn attention amidst ongoing discussions of the national budget.
