Dhaka, Mar 20 Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has thanked opposition BNP and its chief Khaleda Zia for returning to parliament, though she said the aim of return is to keep their remunerations and allowances flowing and to retain their membership.
"I thank the opposition chief. They've joined the House to retain their membership so that they can draw their remunerations and allowances properly. She returned after a long time and left the House after her one-hour and 53-minute speech," Hasina said on Tuesday.
"Honourable speaker, you can ask her (Khaleda) where she had been for this long," she said taking part in the thanksgiving motion on the president's speech.
The prime minister remarked that the speaker showed his patience during the BNP chief's two-hour speech.
Terming Khaleda's speech a novel, Hasina said: "Someone wrote the novel and she just read it out," Hasina added.
The prime minister listed the successes attained and development works undertaken by the government.
Earlier, while taking part in the discussion on the president's speech, Khaleda said the government will have to quit if it does not accept the opposition demand to hold elections under a non-party caretaker government.
