The opposition in the Jatiya Sangsad submitted an urgent notice on Monday afternoon, November 9, 2026, demanding a structured floor discussion under Rule 68 regarding the abnormal price hikes of LPG cylinders and essential fuel products.
A five-member parliamentary delegation delivered the notice of urgent public importance to the Jatiya Sangsad Secretariat during the opening sitting of the fourth session of the 13th Parliament, presided over by Speaker Major (Retd.) Hafiz Uddin Ahmad Bir Bikram.

The opposition alleged that the government and relevant bodies are setting energy prices without holding statutory public hearings or consulting stakeholders, thereby circumventing established provisions of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) Act. The notice cautions that neglecting public interest in fuel pricing threatens macro-economic stability, agriculture, and the manufacturing sector, calling for immediate market controls, legal compliance, and an open parliamentary debate.
