A total of 133 ordinances issued during the tenure of the interim government have been referred to a special parliamentary committee for review, with the panel asked to submit its report by April 2. Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman moved the proposal in the Parliament on Sunday to send the ordinances to the special committee. The House later adopted the proposal, formally placing the ordinances under the committee’s scrutiny. The ordinances had earlier been tabled in Parliament by the Law Minister during the first sitting. On that day, the House also constituted the special committee to examine and sort the ordinances. The committee will review the ordinances and place its recommendations before Parliament within the stipulated timeframe.
