The Speaker is a very important person in the Jatiya Sangsad, which is the Parliament of Bangladesh. Think of them as the main leader or chairperson of the Parliament's meetings. Their job is to make sure everything runs smoothly and fairly.
The Speaker's role is quite similar to what a Speaker does in other countries that have a "Westminster-style" government. This means their government works a bit like the one in the United Kingdom.

What Does the Speaker Do?
The Speaker has many important jobs to make sure the Parliament works well. They are like the referee in a game, making sure everyone follows the rules.
Keeping Order in Parliament
One of the Speaker's main jobs is to keep order during Parliament meetings. Imagine a classroom where everyone is talking at once; it would be chaos! The Speaker makes sure that all members of Parliament speak one at a time. They also ensure that members are polite and follow the rules of debate.
If a member of Parliament breaks the rules, the Speaker can ask them to stop. If someone continues to misbehave, the Speaker has the power to remove them from the meeting. This helps keep discussions focused and respectful.
Guiding Discussions and Debates
The Speaker decides which topics will be talked about in Parliament. They also allow different types of discussions to happen. For example, they can allow a "no-confidence motion." This is when members want to show they no longer support the government.
They also allow "adjournment motions." These are requests to stop the current discussion to talk about something very urgent. The Speaker makes sure these requests follow the rules. This ensures that important issues get the attention they need.
