Bangladesh Parliament

The Bangladesh Parliament, known as the Jatiya Sangsad, is the country's legislative body responsible for making laws and overseeing the government. It is a unicameral parliament, meaning it has only one house, consisting of 300 members elected by the public for five-year terms. The Prime Minister, who leads the government, is usually the leader of the majority party in Parliament. The institution plays a crucial role in shaping policies, addressing national issues, and representing the citizens' interests. Its functions include debating laws, approving budgets, and holding the government accountable for its actions.
