Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division

LPAD was created December 2009 when the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs was divided into two operative divisions: LPAD (legislativediv.gov.bd) for legislative drafting and parliamentary liaison, and the Law and Justice Division (lawjusticediv.gov.bd) for courts, judges, and legal services. The official website is legislativediv.gov.bd (not lpad.gov.bd; that domain routes to a Teletalk recruitment portal). Former secretary Naren Das died of COVID-19 on 21 July 2020; Md. Moinul Kabir was appointed acting secretary on 3 August 2020 and confirmed as secretary on 15 June 2021. No verified news of a replacement for Moinul Kabir was found in primary sources for 2024-2026; current_head is set to null pending direct confirmation from the division's officer list page (legislativediv.gov.bd/pages/officers/ -- page timed out during verification). The 91-bill ordinance conversion batch in April 2026 was LPAD's most intensive legislative processing exercise since the division was established. The Constitutional Reform Council secretariat role: LPAD's parent ministry and the division were expected to provide drafting/secretarial support, but the council is legally contested (BNP refuses the second council oath) and no operative secretariat function has been confirmed. The crc.legislativediv.gov.bd subdomain was used for the 2024-2025 Constitutional Reform Commission, which was a different body; the 2026 council is a parliamentary-level mechanism, not a commission. Verification status is 'partial' because current_head and FY2025-26 budget figures could not be confirmed from accessible primary sources.
