parliamentary committee
The Ministry of Home Affairs is currently focused on the legislative transition and reform of security-related ordinances, specifically the Cyber Security (Amendment) Act and reforms from the July Charter.
Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed attended a meeting of the Standing Committee on Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs regarding the Narcotics Control (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
The Cabinet formed a committee including Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed to revise the Visa Policy 2006.
The Cabinet formed a committee including Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed to review the draft of the Cyber Security (Amendment) Act, 2026.
The national budget for FY2026-27 was passed by the Jatiya Sangsad, including cut motions for the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Committee chairman and member list for the 13th Jatiya Sangsad could not be confirmed from accessible primary sources as of May 17, 2026 -- the first session (March 12 to April 22) closed without the formation of ministerial standing committees, which is consistent with historical practice in Bangladesh where standing committees are typically constituted in the second or third session. current_head is set to null and verification_status is 'partial' pending the committee's formal constitution and chairman announcement. The Minister of Home Affairs (cabinet position, distinct from the committee) is Salahuddin Ahmed (BNP, Cox's Bazar-1 constituency), who took oath February 17, 2026. The standing committee chairman, once appointed, will by convention be a BNP backbench MP -- not the minister. The committee's formal URL under the 13th parliament had not been published on parliament.gov.bd as of verification date. Legal basis cross-checked against two primary sources: Article 76(1) of the Constitution of Bangladesh (bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd) and Rules of Procedure Rule 190 per Banglapedia. The committee's established_year of 1973 reflects the constitutional origin of parliamentary standing committees in Bangladesh's first parliament under the 1972 Constitution. [2026-06-08 audit correction] First session of the 13th Jatiya Sangsad ended 30 Apr 2026, not 22 Apr; correction sits in recent_activity text.
