Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad, Bir Bikram, on Monday said the country’s democratic advancement was upheld through the February general election. “Through the parliamentary election held in February 2026, the country’s democratic progress was upheld. During the past 16 years under the Awami League government, people’s democratic rights were undermined,” he said. The Speaker made the remarks when Saudi Ambassador to Bangladesh Dr Abdullah Jafar H Bin Abiyah paid a courtesy call on him at his office in the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, according to a press release.
