"It is also a most disappointing thing that the residences of the Jatiya Sangsad Speaker and the Chief Whip were transformed into prisons in 2007", said the ruling party leader in his address with Deputy Speaker Shamsul Huq Tuku in the chair.

Even a court was formed in the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban for holding trial of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who also was the then opposition leader in parliament, he said.
