Last parliament session likely on Oct 21

The current parliament will have its final session on October 21.

President Abdul Hamid yesterday convened the session.

Proceedings of the 23rd session of the 10th parliament will begin at 4:30 on the day, said a release from the parliament secretariat. 

Prior to the session, the business advisory committee of parliament will hold a meeting with Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair. It will set the duration and businesses of the session.

The last session of parliament is likely to be very brief -- with three to four sittings, sources at the parliament secretariat said.

The present parliament is unlikely to go for any session after October 23, unless the president convenes.
