Two BNP lawmakers — Rehana Akhtar Ranu and Syeda Ashifa Ashrafi Papiya —
yesterday launched blistering attacks on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
and some of her cabinet colleagues using vulgar and abusive words in
parliament.
This reminded many of the days when some lawmakers of the treasury and opposition benches in the present parliament repeatedly used vulgar words to attack their opponents in its sessions in the past.
Until yesterday, none of the MPs from both benches used any abusive words nor made any derogatory remarks about each other in the present session of the House.
Lawmakers from the ruling Awami League strongly protested the abusive words and derogatory remarks of the two BNP MPs, who were elected to the reserved seats for women.
Whip ASM Feroz said, “In our childhood, we had heard such words were used in the red light districts. It’s unfortunate that such words are now being used in parliament.”
The whip also demanded that the Speaker expunge all the “abusive” words from parliament proceedings.
Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury said she would expunge the unparliamentary words.
Taking the floor on a point of order, BNP lawmaker Papiya termed Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman a “hero” and “future leader” of Bangladesh. The government is trying to bring him back from abroad to foil the opposition movement, she said.
Papiya also said the prime minister announced that Tarique would not be spared. “The prime minister’s statement is indecent, inhuman and nonsensical.”
The BNP lawmaker said Foreign Minister Dipu Moni is a “hybrid” politician who has entered politics all of a sudden. “She does not have mental balance and political capability.”
Then AL lawmakers Fazle Rabbi Mia and Abdul Mannan took the floor and protested her remarks.
Later, taking part in discussion on the supplementary budget for the current fiscal year, BNP lawmaker Rehana Akhter Ranu said by visiting “atheist” blogger Rajib’s house after his death, Sheikh Hasina proved that she is the prime minister of “atheists”.
She also said the prime minister’s family members are involved in taking two percent bribe in the Padma bridge project.
