BNP walks out protesting seating order

Star Online Report

The BNP MPs once again walked out of the parliament today in protest against the new seating order for lawmakers in the parliament.

The opposition MPs left the parliament assembly room before the day's proceedings began.

Earlier in the day, Speaker Abdul Hamid rearranged the seating order with four seats, instead of nine seats, allocated for the opposition BNP in the front row.

Oli Ahmed, the lone lawmaker from the Liberal Democratic Party, has got his previous seat in the front row on the left of the speaker.

Outgoing speaker Jamiruddin Sircar, at the first session of the ninth parliament, allocated nine front seats on the left of the speaker for BNP.
