Gonoforum MP Mukabbir Khan on Monday came down heavily on the government for hasty passage of the bill in Jatiya Sangsad at the fag end of the tenure of running government.
The opposition MP even raised the question--has the government lost confidence in itself?
Mukabbir Khan said this while participating in the discussion on the passage of 'Bangladesh Institute of Management Bill-2023' in parliament.
The ongoing 25th session of parliament will continue till November 2. This will be the last session of the 11th parliament.
A total of 22 bills are expected to be passed in this session of 9 working days. 18 bills were passed in the last session of the 10th Parliament.

Mukabbir Khan said that the government is trying to update several old laws, which is positive.
"But in the last period of the government, it is difficult to say which law is being placed and passed in the House. I fear that the government has lost confidence in itself. Is the government assuming that they will not be able to stay in power or will not be able to form a government through the next elections,” he questioned.
He said that Does any interest of any particular person or group are involved (with the passage of the bills)? This needs to be clarified.
He asked why there are so many bills in the last period of the government?
Saying that a report of seven bills were received in parliament last Sunday, Mukabbir said how the MPs will study on those bills within such a short period of time. Passage of bill in a hurry has little chance of becoming standard legislation.

Commenting that domestic and foreign investors are losing interest in investing in Bangladesh, Mukabbir said that Investment requires a stable environment.
"The people of the country are extremely worried about the elections. People are suffering from insecurity. In the name of so-called democracy, two political circles are standing in conflict. It is making the country a war zone."
