1) First Parliament: 2 years 6 months (April 7, 1973 - November 7, 1975) under the leadership of Awami League

9) Ninth Parliament: (January 17, 2009 -) The first parliament in the Awami League-led alliance never used the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban. The Prime Minister was the leader of each parliament.
Architectural style and design: Louis designed the rest of the Kane complex. The Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban is a part of the Jatiya Sangsad Complex. The complex also has lovely gardens, an artificial lake and the residence of MPs.
Location
There are four main roads surrounding the Jatiya Sangsad Complex in Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar:
• Lake Road to the north;
• Rokeya Street to the east;
• Manik Mia Avenue on the south side and
• Mirpur Road to the west.
As a result, it is possible to control the movement of vehicles easily during the parliamentary session. The main building (Parliament building) is basically divided into three parts:
Main Plaza: 623,000 sq ft (6,000 sq m).
South Plaza: 223,000 sqft (21,000 sq m)
Presidential Plaza: 65,000 sq ft (6,000 sq m)
The main building is located in the center of the complex. The MP hostel and emergency buildings are located outside the complex. The artificial lake, which surrounds the main building, fills the gap between the two gardens.
At the heart of this architectural philosophy was the maximum use of space and the enhancement of Bangladesh's heritage and culture through its architectural style. The struggle for human survival against various adversities of nature has been highlighted by the architectural style.
The design of the main building is made up of nine separate blocks: the height of the middle octagonal block is 155 feet and the height of the remaining eight blocks is 110 feet.
The space of each block has been divided on the basis of different functions, interconnected between the blocks horizontally and vertically through corridors, elevators, stairs, and circular paths. The design of the whole building has been formulated in such a way that all the blocks can be used as a single space at the same time.
The adjoining block on the second floor has the shortcomings of the main committee. The building houses the offices of all kinds of parliamentary activities, ministers, chairpersons and standing committees. There are also some office allocations for the Parliamentary Secretary in the same building.

History of Lalbagh Fort: The construction work of Lalbagh Fort started in 18 AD. The construction work of the then Mughal Emperor Azam Shah started. Although Azam Shah was the Mughal emperor for a very short time. Yet in his short time, he began this remarkable work of his.
