He said a summary would be sent from the Parliament Secretariat to the Prime Minister's Office and then forwarded to the president for approval. The president would convene the session in consultation with the prime minister, Salahuddin said.
According to the decision, the parliament session will be convened on 12 March.
Salahuddin, also a Standing Committee member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), said the meeting also discussed the agenda for the upcoming session. All ordinances promulgated during the interim government will be placed before parliament.
As per tradition, a proposal will be made and the president will deliver a speech. Other regular parliamentary business will also be taken up, he said.
In response to a question, he said there had been no discussion so far on the election of a new president or speaker.
Referring to yesterday's (21 February) reported terrorist incident in Mohammadpur, he said he had ordered an investigation and asked for a report. "If such incidents occur, we will take strict action," he added.
