Deputy speaker apologies for inviting deceased MP

Deputy Speaker Fazle Rabbi Miah yesterday apologised to the House for sending invitation to a late MP.

During an unscheduled discussion, AL MP Muhibur Rahman Manik informed the House that the Parliament Secretariat had issued a letter to Ishak Hossain Talukder, who died on October 6, for attending the IMF-CPA conference.

“This shows how careless the Parliament Secretariat is about the lawmakers,” Manik told parliament.

Fazle Rabbi Miah, who was chairing the sitting, said: “I personally express my apology for such a mistake. I think the senior secretary of parliament would be careful in future.”
