SANGSAD BHABAN, Mar 30 (V7N) — Barrister Zaima Rahman, the daughter of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, was seen observing the session of the 13th National Parliament from the VVIP lounge on Monday afternoon. Returning to the gallery after her appearance at the inaugural session earlier this month, Zaima Rahman took her seat in the front row of the VVIP lounge as the proceedings commenced at 3:00 PM.

During the scheduled question and answer session for ministers, Barrister Zaima was observed closely monitoring the legislative debates while simultaneously working on her laptop. Her presence in the gallery has drawn attention as the new parliament navigates its first major working session, including the 50-hour debate on the President’s address and the review of interim ordinances.

This marks her second high-profile appearance at Sangsad Bhavan this month. When the first session of the 13th National Parliament began on March 12, she was accompanied by her mother, Dr. Zobaida Rahman, to witness the historic opening and the President's inaugural speech.

As a UK-trained barrister, Zaima Rahman’s consistent presence during key parliamentary hours has sparked interest among political observers regarding her engagement with the country's legislative and legal reforms. Her attendance on Monday coincided with a high-stakes day in the House, featuring a private meeting between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, as well as critical statements from the Law and Health Ministers.
