Hon. M.A.M. Thahir

Hon. Mujibur Rahuman raised a point of order concerning perceived procedural inconsistency in the recognition of speakers by the Deputy Speaker. He argued that while ordinary members are required to state the point, the relevant Standing Order number, and other details before being recognised, the Deputy Speaker's microphone is activated without such requirements. He asserted that parliamentary traditions and Standing Orders apply equally to all members, including the presiding officer, and called for uniform application of parliamentary procedure.
